##Superconductor ###Parallel Web Programming for Massive Visualizations
Public Backends
- Sequential JavaScript layout w/ canvas rendering
- WebCL layout w/ WebGL rendering
- Stale: CUDA, OpenCL, C++, ASMJS, Qt
Other Known
- Graphistry: Web workers layout w/ WebGL rendering
- Berkeley: Rust
###Compiling from source
- Install nodejs, java + ant, swi-pl
- In "superconductorjs", run "npm install"
- In "superconductorjs", run "make all"
- In "compiler", run "ant" . You may need to fix up "local.properties" (template in "local.properties.mac")
###Test
Run "./runTestWebServer.sh" from the main folder to launch a local test server
Unit tests (pixel/zoom tests report false negatives)
- Sequential (any browser): http://localhost:8888/examples/boxes/index.html?webworkerLayout=false&ignoreCL=true&ignoreGL=true
- WebCL (WebCL-enabled browser): http://localhost:8888/examples/boxes/index.html?webworkerLayout=false&ignoreCL=false&ignoreGL=false
Demos
- Treemap (WebCL): http://localhost:8888/examples/treemap/index.html?webworkerLayout=false&ignoreCL=false&ignoreGL=false
- 3D Line Graph (WebCL): http://localhost:8888/examples/linegraph-3d/
The GPU version requires a browser with WebCL bindings.

Tip: Make sure WebGL is enabled from the developer menu. Tip: Try the n-body example that comes with WebKit
