Simulation Database Abstraction Layer (SIMDAL)

The Simulation Database Abstraction Layer can be used to abstract database accesses to store tracing data during simulation. It provides a thread-safe interface and backend implementations for SQLite and a CSV-based database. The project contains predefined entry types which can be stored in the database. Documentation of the resulting database tables can be found here.

BUILD

1. Clone the git repository

   git clone https://github.com/nbosb/simdal.git

2. Choose directories for building and deployment

   <source-dir>  location of your repo copy,     e.g. /home/nils/simdal
   <build-dir>   location to store object files, e.g. /home/nils/simdal/BUILD
   <install-dir> output directory for binaries,  e.g. /opt/simdal
   

3. Configure and build the SIMDAL using cmake. During configuration, you can specify the following options:

   • -DSIMDAL_BUILD_TESTS=[ON|OFF]: Build unit tests (default: OFF)

   Release and debug build configurations are controlled via the regular parameters (-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE):

   mkdir -p <build-dir>
   cd <build-dir>
   cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<install-dir> -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release <source-dir>
   make -j`nproc`
   make install

   If building with -DSIMDAL_BUILD_TESTS=ON, you can run all unit tests using make test within the <build-dir>

4. After installation, the following files and directories should be present:

   <install-dir>/include            # header files
   <install-dir>/lib64/libsimdal.a  # simdal library
   <install-dir>/tests              # unit tests (if enabled)
