clBLAS library provides the optimized way to perform linear-algebra operations in OpenCL version of ADDA. Currently we are only testing its virtues, but it may become linked by default in the future. ADDA requires at least clBLAS version 2.12, the following guidelines are based on version 2.12.0.
-
Either obtain a special package, e.g. libclblas-dev for Ubuntu.
-
Or download it from the official repository.
- Either download the source and compile it. Doing it under the user account (install directory -
$HOME
) can be as easy as (requires CMake):tar -zxvf clBLAS-2.12.tar.gz cd clBLAS-2.12/src cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release . make make install/fast
cmake
automatically determines if some auxiliary software is available on your system and sets up furhter installation to include only the core library or, additionally, client application and tests (ADDA need only the library). We use targetinstall/fast
instead ofinstall
, since the latter erroneously repeats the build. - Alternatively, download the ready binaries for x64 Linux (install directory should be extracted from the archive).
- Additionally you also need to update the environment (this may be unnecessary after local build if you already installed other software into
$HOME
):- either add
include
subdirectory of the install directory to environmental variableC_INCLUDE_PATH
andlib64
- toLIBRARY_PATH
andLD_LIBRARY_PATH
(for linking and runtime). SettingLD_LIBRARY_PATH
can be replaced by modifying/etc/ld.so.conf
. - or specify paths to
../include
and../lib64
subdirectories of the install directory in ocl/Makefile, as described in CompilingADDA. Also updateLD_LIBRARY_PATH
as described above.
- either add
- Either download the source and compile it. Doing it under the user account (install directory -
-
Or download it from the official repository. Compiling from source requires a few dependencies to be installed first. Anyway, you will also need to update the environment:
- either add
include
subdirectory of the install directory to environmental variableC_INCLUDE_PATH
andlib64
- toLIBRARY_PATH
andLD_LIBRARY_PATH
(for linking and runtime). SettingLD_LIBRARY_PATH
can be replaced by modifying/etc/ld.so.conf
. - or specify paths to
../include
and../lib64
subdirectories of the install directory in ocl/Makefile, as described in CompilingADDA. Also updateLD_LIBRARY_PATH
as described above.
- either add
- Get the package from Homebrew or other package manager.
- Otherwise, follow the Unix instructions.
We are not yet providing ADDA executables with clBLAS support. To compile adda_ocl
on Windows yourself, do the following:
- Download and unzip the latest release for Windows.
- If you are setting up the MinGW/MSYS environment with advanced instructions follow those instructions.
- Alternatively, do the following:
- specify paths to
include
andbin
subdirectories of the install directory in ocl/Makefile, as described in CompilingADDA. - To avoid need to move DLLs together with ADDA executables add
bin
subdirectory to environmental variablePATH
- specify paths to
