CTorch Project

Project Overview

CTorch is a C++-based tool designed for training and testing neural networks. The project leverages the Eigen library for efficient matrix operations and mathematical computations. It aims to provide a high-performance environment for neural network development.

Inspired by the Deep Learning project.

Dependencies

1. C++ Standard: Requires support for C++20 or later.

2. Eigen Library: The Eigen library must be downloaded and placed in the root directory of the project workspace.

Download and Setup Eigen Library

1. Download Eigen: You can download Eigen 3.4.0 release at Eigen_3.4.0
2. Extract Eigen: Extract the downloaded .zip or .tar.gz file.
3. Place Eigen: Copy the Eigen in extracted folder eigen-3.4.0 to Group-86 workspace(Ensure that you are in sprint1 branch). The structure should look like this:

   Group-86/
   ├── CMakeLists.txt
   ├── Data
   ├── datasets 
   ├── DataType
   ├── Eigen/  # Place the extracted Eigen library here
   └── ...
   

Install a C++20-Compatible Compiler

Linux

• GCC: Install the latest version of GCC using your package manager. For example:

  sudo apt update
  sudo apt install g++-10

  Verify the installation:

  g++ --version

• Clang: Alternatively, you can install Clang:

  sudo apt install clang

macOS

• Xcode: Install Xcode from the App Store or use the command line tools:

  xcode-select --install

  Ensure your compiler supports C++20.

Windows

• Visual Studio: Install the latest version of Visual Studio and select the C++ development workload. Ensure that the MSVC compiler supports C++20.
• MSYS2: Alternatively, install GCC through MSYS2:

  pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc

Build and Run

Build Steps

Run the following commands in a terminal to build and run the project:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Running the Project

After successful compilation, execute the following command to run the program:

./CTorch

You can see the example output of the dummy network at the terminal:
