InstallationΒΆ
The base install of SENSEI depends on CMake, MPI, Python, SWIG, numpy, and mpi4py.
git clone https://github.com/SENSEI-insitu/SENSEI
mkdir sensei-build
cd sensei-build
cmake ../SENSEI
make -j
This base install enables one to perform in situ in Python using user provided Python scripts. For more information on Python based in situ see our ISAV 2018 paper.
Additional in situ and in transit processing capabilities are available by enabling various build options on the CMake command line.
