aocl-sparse

aocl-sparse exposes a common interface that provides Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines for sparse computation implemented for AMD's CPUs.

Requirements

• CMake (3.5 or later)

Optional:

• [Boost][]
  • Required for benchmarks.

Quickstart aocl-sparse build and install

CMake

All compiler specifications are determined automatically.

After cloning aocl-sparse, Go to aocl-sparse directory, create and go to the build directory

cd aocl-sparse;
mkdir -p build/release;
cd build/release;

# Configure aocl-sparse
# Build options:
#   BUILD_CLIENTS_BENCHMARKS - build benchmarks (OFF)
#   BUILD_VERBOSE            - verbose output (OFF)
#   BUILD_SHARED_LIBS        - build aocl-sparse as a shared library (ON)

# Build shared library (default)
if CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is not provided then /opt/aoclsparse/ is the default location which contains lib/ and include/ directory files.
cmake ../.. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="<Directory_path>"

# Build
make

# Install
[sudo] make install

# Build static library
cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF ../../
make install

Benchmarks

To run benchmarks, aocl-sparse has to be built with option -DBUILD_CLIENTS_BENCHMARKS=ON.

cmake -DBUILD_CLIENTS_BENCHMARKS=ON ../../ make install

Simple Test

Test the installation by running CSR-SPMV on scircuit.mtx file, e.g.

cd aocl-sparse/build/release
wget https://sparse.tamu.edu/MM/Hamm/scircuit.tar.gz
tar xf scircuit.tar.gz; mv scircuit ./scircuit.mtx && rm -rf scircuit.tar.gz scircuit
./tests/staging/aoclsparse-bench -f csrmv --precision d --alpha 1 --beta 0 --iters 1000 --mtx ./scircuit.mtx/scircuit.mtx

Test the installation by running CSR-SPMV on randomly generated matrix, e.g.

./tests/staging/aoclsparse-bench -f csrmv --precision d -m 1000 -n 1000 -z 4000 -v 1
