Introduction

HWLOC3D is a Java application for creating beautiful 2D/3D pictures for the hardware locality and memory hierarchy of a computer system. It is developed to visualize the XML-based output from hwloc utility. The XML examples can be found from hwloc xml database. The DTD file for specifying the XML is hwloc2.dtd. It is now being developed using JOGL and JZY3D

Setup

  1. Eclipse Development Environment with M2E Support: Follow the step-by-step guide onStarting JZY3D-JOGL Development in Eclipse.

  2. Clone the Repository: Clone this repository using the command:

git clone https://github.com/passlab/peviewer.git
