Overview

Set of image processing tools and functions accessible through a command line interface (CLI). Holds images in RAM, with image stream support (shared memory with low-latency IPC support).

Written in C, optimized for performance.

Executable launches a command line interface (CLI). Type "help" in the CLI to get started.

Downloading and installing

The CACAO package follows the standard git clone steps and GNU build process :

git clone --recursive -j 4 https://github.com/CACAO-org/CACAO
cd CACAO
autoreconf -vif
./configure
make -j 4
make install

Note: On OS X you need to use gcc-mp-5 for openMP:

./configure "CC=/opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-5" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/malloc/ -I/opt/local/include/readline" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/lib/"
(Replace "/opt/local/" is the location of your installed libraries. )

Libraries

The following libraries are used:

• libtool
• automake
• readline, for reading the command line input
• ncurses-dev
• flex, for parsing the command line input
• bison, to interpret the command line input
• fftw, for performing Fourier Transforms
• gsl, for math functions and tools
• fitsio, for reading and writing FITS image files
• CUDA, CuBLAS, MAGMA for GPU acceleration (optional)

If you use NVIDIA GPUs, install cuda and magma libraries, and add "--enable-cuda and --enable-magma" options to the configure command.

Getting Started

All functions are accessible from the command line interface (CLI). Enter the CLI and type "help" for instructions.
