Preparing the Sample Application

Getting the Source Files

1. Expand the archive file into the to \tachyon_compiler folder:

2. Open the Microsoft Visual Studio* Solution \tachyon_compiler\vc9\tachyon_compiler.sln. The solution includes these projects:

   • build_serial
   • build_with_cilk
   • build_with_openmp
   • build_with_tbb
   • tachyon.common

   Note

   Projects build_with_openmp, build_with_tbb and build_with_cilk use OpenMP, Intel® TBB and Intel® Cilk™ Plus, respectively. In addition to these implementations, there is also an option for users to implement with lambda functionality based on Intel TBB

Platform and Other Details

The solution for this sample application was created in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. If you open the tachyon_compiler.sln solution in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, then it will be converted to a Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 solution.

For Platform Win32

• The executable file for all implementations is tachyon_compiler.exe in the \tachyon_compiler\vc9\<project_name>_Win32_Release directory.

• Object files are stored in\tachyon_compiler\vc9\tachyon_common_Win32_Release\ directory.

For Platform x64

• The executable file for all implementations is tachyon_compiler.exe in the <project_name>_Win32_Release directory.

• Object files are stored in \tachyon_compiler\vc9\x64\tachyon_common_Win64_Release\ directory.

In addition to the serial and Intel® Cilk™ Plus implementations covered in this tutorial, there is also an implementation of Tachyon using Intel® TBB, build_with_tbb. Please search for "TODO" in the source code for steps to modify the source for parallelization with Intel® TBB.
