Getting all the better … is it this one? https://github.com/chhenning/nupic.core1

This one is old and should be deleted soon. Please use GitHub - chhenning/nupic: Community Fork of Numenta's Platform for Intelligent Computing (NuPIC)

There is a visual studio solution which showcases the current structure.

Is it this thread? or where is it drafted? https://discourse.numenta.org/t/nupic-core-c-bindings

I don’t have VS, but I can review the branch, some image or description would be helpful.

Here is the structure that I have created in conjuction with @David_Keeney and @heilerm.

1. nupic.core – static cpp lib
2. nupic.core_test – nupic.core unit tests using gtest
3. nupic.python.algorithms – pybind11 module
4. nupic.python.engine – pybind11 module
5. nupic.python.math – pybind11 module
6. nupic.python27.algorithms – pybind11 module
7. nupic.python27.engine – pybind11 module
8. nupic.python27.math – pybind11 module
9. nupic.python_test – cpp app to test python modules
10. python3 - nupic python 3 port
11. yaml-cpp - static cpp yaml lib

I also provide all necessary binaries to build the system. This obviously only works for Windows.

All sound good to me, but the removed serialization. Is something (yaml) working? Do you think to get someting in a reasonable time? As for many experiments…you need a model that trains a loong time.

There are some more serialization methods like writeToString for some of the algorithms. Matrices can also be saved and loaded from file. But it’s all rather crude. I’m open to suggestions like boost::serialization (saving to zipped archive for instance) or cap’n proto, or cereal, etc. But I think we need to talk about what we actually trying to achieve?
