FAuST Toolbox -- Flexible Approximate Multi-Layer Sparse Transform

General purpose

The FAuST toolbox contains a C++ code implementing a general framework designed to factorize matrices of interest into multiple sparse factors. It contains a template CPU/GPU C++ code and a Matlab wrapper. A Python wrapper is also available. The algorithms implemented here are described in details in [1]- Le Magoarou

For more information on the FAuST Project, please visit the website of the project: FAµST website

Installation

Please refer to the document "./gettingStartedFAuST-version2_0.pdf" to install the FAUST toolbox. The FAUST toolbox has been tested on the following environments:

• LINUX (fedora 24 - 30 / centos 7 / Ubuntu)
• MACOS X
• WINDOWS (windows 7)

Quick install on UNIX

Unpack the directory.
mkdir ./build
cd ./build
cmake .. OR ccmake .. (with Graphical User Interface)
make
make install

Warning: The Matlab interface of FAuST requires compiling mex files. The mex compiler compatible with specific versions of gcc depending on the platform used. For more information, please refer to the Mathworks website.

Quickest Install on Linux, Windows and macOS

Pre-compiled packages from Gitlab Continuous Integration are also available. Except of course PIP packages, all packages include matlab and python wrappers, below are the latest release links.

• macOS (.pkg) installer
• Windows (.exe) NSI installer
• Linux (.rpm, .deb) packages
• Linux (.rpm, .deb) packages with embedded static matio library
• Python PIP (pre-compiled) packages: for Linux, macOS and Windows 10
