Installation Guide

A Step-by-step instruction for installing Anaconda and DIBS are provided in this PDF document.

Documentation

Full documentation of the structure of DIBS (methodology and data generation) has been bundled in a PDF document which can be found in this repository. Open PDF document.

Runtime of DIBS

A runtime calculation on two different devices can be found here.
