Stable Release

Stable releases are snapshots released every few months when the current version has no known major bugs and we feel that its design and feature set are reasonably complete.  This release builds on x86 multicore systems (using GCC with optional OpenMP, Clang is also supported in the development version.. For instructions on building STINGER and linking into your application, please see README.txt in the source root.

The dev branch on github hosts the most recent changes to STINGER.  This is kept in a relatively stable state.  A developer's guide is upcoming to describe how you can contribute.

System Requirements

STINGER should build on any 64-bit x86-compatible Linux system or Mac OSX.  It is built and tested with varying versions of GCC and Clang and is written conforming to the C99 standard.  Memory and processing requirements are only defined by the size of graph that you wish to process (i.e. development and testing has been performed on systems ranging from a Google cr-48 with an Intel Atom and 2GB of RAM to running Ubuntu 12.10 to a 1.5TB x86 server).

It is intended that STINGER be mostly self-contained; however, using the flask interface will require Python and the dependencies specified int he requirements.txt.
