Download the TORQUE toolkit

In order to start using TORQUE, you have to perform the following simple steps:

Step 1. Check System Requirements
Step 2. Download
Step 3. Compiling and running

Step 1. Check System Requirements

Top of the page

TORQUE is written in C++, and needs no special library to compile correctly; earlier versions explicitly required to use the gcc/g++ compiler version 2.96 (or a nearby one - compilation was also successful with gcc/g++ 2.95). However, starting from version 1.1, TORQUE compiles correctly also with gcc/g++ 3.2.2.

As far as memory is concerned, the usual considerations are valid: the more you have, the larger the graphs you can deal with...


Step 2. Download

Top of the page

Here are the links from which you can download the full source code of TORQUE, including the documentation files. Binary files are also provided, in case you should experience difficulties in compiling the toolkit (binary packages do not include documentation). Unless otherwise needed, compiling source code is always recommended.

Step 3. Compiling and running

Top of the page

In order to compile the tools, you only have to perform a few simple steps:

  1. cd the directory you extracted the TORQUE sources in.
  2. Only in the case in which you downloaded a version prior to 1.1, run the config script (that is, type something like ./config and hit Return), which is a very simple script that detects the version of the installed compilers and prepares the proper Makefile for use. This script cannot do much for you if you are using a version of gcc/g++ different from the 2.96 and you do not have gcc/g++ 2.96 installed: in such a case, you will have to change the Makefile by hand, by replacing the values of CC and CXX with proper commands;
  3. Run make with no arguments to get a list of all the available targets (essentially, there is one for each of the tools). If you want to compile all the tools with a single command, just type make all and wait a few seconds.
  4. If you want to (build and) use TORQUE as a support library for writing other software, use the command make lib. This target is only available in versions starting from 1.3. The library will be called libtorque.a.
