The goal of this task is to build BRL-CAD from source in Release mode, run the benchmark tests after a successful build, and submit your results.

This task cannot be completed on Windows nor using a virtual machine. You must be running Linux, MacOS, FreeBSD, etc, natively.

In order to do a successful build, build tools like CMake and a compiler are required. There are some prerequisites as well for BRL-CAD to be built. This information can be found here and here. If the build fails, re-run make while capturing all output to a log: make > build.log 2>&1 Please report any build failures. You will have to figure some things out yourself if you run into errors or problems while the build process is going on.

You will probably want these flags when you run CMake:

• CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
• BRLCAD_BUNDLED_LIBS=ON
• BRLCAD_ENABLE_STRICT=OFF

After a successful Release build, run the benchmark performance testing using:

• make benchmark

SUBMIT an e-mail with your run-######-benchmark.log file, as noted in the benchmark output, to benchmark@brlcad.org. Also, upload your results here with some portion of your e-mail address so we can find it in our database later.
