Stateline is a framework for distributed Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling written in C++ with high-level Python bindings. It focuses on parallel tempering methods which are highly parallelisable.
Currently, stateline runs on Linux-based operating systems only.
Stateline has been compiled and tested under g++ 4.8.2.
Stateline requires the following libraries as prerequisites:
- Boost 1.55
- Eigen 3.2.0
- google-log (glog) 0.3.3
- google-test (gtest) 1.7.0
- zeromq 4.0.3
- cppzeromq 2358037407 (commit hash)
- leveldb 1.15.0
There is a build.sh script included with the code in that can be used to easily build the project using CMake, by specifying environment variables corresponding to the locations of the prerequisite libraries. If you have installed them all into /usr/local, you can probably ignore them and just run CMake. Once you have run CMake in your build directory, a simple make command will suffice to build the project.
Documentation can be found in the wiki, and there is automatic doxygen documentation generated by running
make doc
after CMake. Please ensure Doxygen is installed. Finally, there are well-commented demos for python and C++ in the python/demos folder and src/bin respectively.
Please see the LICENSE file, and COPYING and COPYING.LESSER.
