New Revision of Cork Computational Geometry Library – runs on Linux !

I have had enough free time lately to return to Cork and have made a couple key improvements to the build :

  • Builds and runs on Linux !
  • Generally 10% faster !
  • Moved to CMake build system
  • Script available to build 3rd Party dependencies
  • Updated to C++20
  • Updated to most recent Boost, TBB and MPIR libraries
  • Started vectorization with AVX2 SIMD instruction set
  • A few improvements to the regression test app
  • Added a few more unit tests
  • Faster OFF file output

Combined this makes for a much smoother ‘getting started’ experience. I will publish a Packer script that can be used to create a Ubuntu Mate 20.04 VM in VirtualBox or Proxmox for development.

The Github repository is here : https://github.com/stephanfr/Cork.git At present I am working in the v0.9.0 branch.

I plan to move forward and bring the 3rd party dependencies up to date and build out more unit tests while working on performance improvements. I believe there are a number of places in the code that will benefit from AVX2 vectorization.
