Requirements: - A C compiler, this package was tested with the GNU C Compiler gcc. - GNU make - For running the SCOP benchmark the Bash shell and Perl. Installation: Unpack the LSTM tar archive LSTM.tar.gz by running tar xzf LSTM.tar.gz or gunzip -c LSTM.tar.gz| tar -xf - cd into the sources in the LSTM directory cd LSTM/src Edit the Makefile to choose some optimizations for your architecture but the default optimization -O3 is good enough for first experiments. Type 'make' to compile the sources. make Quickstart experiment: Step back to the LSTM directory and then into the quickstartExperiment directory to run a quick test cd ../quickstartExperiment src/lstm -c lstmpars.mem12.ws9.txt The LSTM sources are located in the directory src. The resulting binary is called lstm. Installing the SCOP 1.53 datasets: Get 'datasetsSCOP1.53.tar.gz' or 'datasetsSCOP1.53.tar.bz2' and copy the archives in the LSTM/SCOP1.53Experiment directory. Then for datasetsSCOP1.53.tar.gz tar xzf datasetsSCOP1.53.tar.gz or gunzip -c datasetsSCOP1.53.tar.gz| tar -xf - or for datasetsSCOP1.53.tar.bz2 tar xjf datasetsSCOP1.53.tar.bz2 or bunzip2 -c datasetsSCOP1.53.tar.gz| tar -xf -
