Extending GENESIS Functionality

The Workflow Paradigm provides an organizing principle for development and extension of G-3. The GENESIS software platform can be extended by either extending the functionality of an existing Software Component or adding a new software component. The following links give examples of how to perform the steps required to achieve these goals.

• Workflow 1: Add New GENESIS Component: To add a new component to the G-3 software platform, it must be created, defined in the DeveloperPackage and integrated with the automated regression tester.
  • Create the new software component. Use the DeveloperPackage script neurospaces_new_component for initialization of the directory layout and creation of configuration and makefile scripts that are used to interface with the DeveloperPackage.
  • Add Component to the DeveloperPackage
  • Create regression tests (this document describes how to create a test for the PulseGen object which was afterwards moved to the Experiment package.
• Workflow 2: Extend GENESIS Component: As an example we describe how to extend the functionality of the Model Container and the Experiment component.
  • Extend Model Container
  • Add solver object
  • Make solver object usable from a scripting language
