  1. Overview of the SCIRun/BioPSE Software Systems Hold on to your hats…

  2. Outline • Installation • Documentation Structure and Layout • Dataflow Concepts • Network Design and Conventions • Modules • Network Files and Persistent State • I/O, Bridging, and Thirdparty • Viewer Interaction

  3. Installation • Download from SCI Software website • http://software.sci.utah.edu (let’s go!) • Stable (even) vs Development (odd) releases • SCIRun / Packages / Datasets / Docs • Install Thirdparty • configure • gmake

  4. Documentation: The Central Source http://internal.sci.utah.edu/developer/doc/

  5. Documentation: User Support • On-line Documentation • Tutorial • User’s Manual • FAQ Lists • Printed Documentation • User’s Manuals • Mailing List 182 registered) • Direct Contact • Email and Bugzilla • Phone

  6. Documentation: Tutorial

  7. Dataflow • Dataflow Vocabulary • Module • Dataport • Datapipe • UI • Send and Get • GuiVars • Scheduler • Dependencies • loops: send_intermediate

  8. Network Design

  9. Module: Algorithm + UI • Algorithm • Function • Reusability • User Interface • Buttons, tabs, slides, text entry, … • Hidden state • Module: wrapper • Infrastructure: setup, shutdown • Execute • 1) Why am I being told to execute • 2) Get data from ports • 3) Update UI variables • 4) Invoke algorithm • 5) Send data out ports

  10. Net Files and State • Net File • Create modules • Create datapipes • Set UI values • Environment variables to create general purpose nets • SCIRUN_DATA • SCIRUN_DATASET • Human editable… but be careful! • Datasets can also be written out and read in… more on that tomorrow

  11. I/O, Bridging, and Thirdparty • Read/Write modules for SCIRun format • “convert” programs for importing / exporting external data formats • Packages = projects • Internal • External: bridging • Store external libraries in Thirdparty • Independent of SCIRun standards • Externally maintained

  12. Viewer Module • OpenGL • Scene graph • Widgets • See the User’s Guide • for details…
