Triumvirate is a Python/C++ software package for measuring three-point (and two-point) clustering statistics in large-scale structure (LSS) cosmological analyses.
Comprehensive documentation including the scientific background, installation instructions, tutorials and API reference can be found at triumvirate.readthedocs.io.
Triumvirate as a Python package is distributed through PyPI and Conda. Instructions for installation can be found on the Installation page in the documentation.
Triumvirate as either a static library or a binary executable can be built using make. Instructions for compilation can be found on the Installation page in the documentation.
Both the Python package and the C++ library/program can be set up in development mode with make, provided that dependency requirements are satisfied (GSL and FFTW3 libraries are mandatory while an OpenMP library is optional).
First git clone the desired branch/release from the GitHub repository and change into the repository directory path:
$ git clone git@github.com:MikeSWang/Triumvirate.git --branch <branch-or-release>
$ cd Triumvirate
Then, execute in shell:
$ make clean
$ make ([py|cpp]install)|(cpp[libinstall|appbuild]) [useomp=(true|1)]
where cpplibinstall or cppappbuild respectively builds the C++ static library or binary executable only, cppinstall builds both, pyinstall builds the Python package only, and install builds all of the above. To enable OpenMP parallelisation, append useomp=true or useomp=1 to the end of the second line as shown above.
Note
The latest release is on the main branch. The default Makefile (located at the repository directory root) should work in most build environments, but may need to be modified as appropriate.
Note
See the Installation page in the documentation for more details about dependency requirements.
Important
If enabling OpenMP, ensure the C++ compiler used supports it and is configured accordingly. The default Makefile (located at the repository directory root) assumes the GCC compiler and OpenMP library. See the Installation page in the documentation for more details.
Note
Pass option -j[N] -O to make to run multiple concurrent jobs for parallel building (optional parameter N is the number of parallel jobs; see GNU Make Manual).
