GElib 0.2.4

Group equivariant neural network library

GElib

GElib is a C++/CUDA library for building equivariant neural networks. The library can be used as a pure C++ library or as a C++ extension for PyTorch. GElib uses cnine as its backend. Documentation for the C++ API can be found in the 'doc' directory. Documentation for the PyTorch API is at https://risi-kondor.github.io/GElib/.

GElib is released under a combination of the Mozilla Public License v. 2.0. and a custom noncommercial license to be found in the file NONCOMMERCIAL.TXT. The latter also applies to the cnine component. Commercial use requires a licence from the author(s).

Installing GElib as a Python module

GElib is distributed in source code format, therefore to install it you must have a working C++ compiler supporting C++17 (or higher) on your system. You also need PyTorch. If these requirements are satified, in most cases GElib can be installed simply by running

   pip install gelib

or

   pip3 install gelib

To install the package with CUDA support, set the WITH_CUDA environment variable to TRUE:

   export WITH_CUDA="TRUE"

before running the above command. Installing with CUDA requires the CUDA development environment to be present on your system and its version must match that which PyTorch was compiled against.

Fallback installation method

The fallback installation method is to clone the library with

   git clone --recurse-submodules [e-mail]:risi-kondor/GElib.git

and install it manually by running pip install -e . in its root directory. The --recurse-submodules flag ensures that a copy of cnine is bundled inside the GElib directory structure.
