SOFIE

This is an experimental standalone version of SOFIE - a tool for Fast ML Inference within ROOT - the scientific data analysis framework.

Since SOFIE is a part of ROOT and therefore needs to be built altogether, it takes quite a long time in its development and testing. This standalone version allows you to just build SOFIE with the pre-built binaries of ROOT- making the entire development process way faster.

Installation

  1. Getting a ROOT binary.
    Download a pre-built binary of ROOT based on your architecture from here.

  2. Build standalone SOFIE

git clone https://github.com/sanjibansg/SOFIE.git
cd SOFIE
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -Dtesting=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ..
cmake --build . --target install -j10

The commands above should build the SOFIE standalone. To include it within the ROOT binary and run altogether, we need to source the shared libraries for SOFIE_core and SOFIE_parsers. Within the SOFIE repository we may call

source setup.sh

Now ROOT should also access the SOFIE libraries while it runs. This helps to accelerate development. Submit your developments here and we will proceed with the developments in ROOT carefull.

Inspiration

The standalone version of SOFIE is developed with inspiration from the standalone version of RooFit developed by Jonas Rembser that can be found here.
