Virtual Laboratory Environment 2.0
See AUTHORS and COPYRIGHT for the list of contributors.
VLE is an operational framework for multi-modeling, simulation and analysis of complex dynamical systems. It addresses the reliability issue by using recent developments in the theory of modeling and simulation proposed by B. Zeigler with the Discrete Event System Specification formalism (DEVS).
Requirements
For the VFL API:
- libxml2 (≥ 2.8)
- boost (≥ 1.47)
- cmake (≥ 3.0)
- c++ compiler (gcc ≥ 4.9, clang ≥ 3.3, intel icc (≥ 11.0)
For the MPI command line:
- Any MPI 2 library as OpenMpi, mpich
For the GUI:
- Qt5
Getting the code
The source tree is currently hosted on Github and Sourceforge. To view the repository online: https://github.com/vle-forge/vle The URL to clone it:
git clone git://github.com/vle-forge/vle.git
Install dependencies (recent ubuntu/debian):
apt-get install libxml2-dev libboost-dev cmake pkg-config g++ \
qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools qtbase5-dev qtbase5-dev-tools \
qtchooser qt5-default
Once you have met requirements, compiling and installing is simple:
cd vle
mkdir build
cd build
export QT_SELECT=qt5
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ..
make
make install
