rocSPARSE

rocSPARSE exposes a common interface that provides Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines for sparse computation implemented on top of AMD's Radeon Open Compute ROCm runtime and toolchains. rocSPARSE is created using the HIP programming language and optimized for AMD's latest discrete GPUs.

Documentation

Requirements

• Git
• CMake (3.5 or later)
• AMD ROCm 1.9 platform

Optional:

• GTest
  • Required for tests.
  • Use GTEST_ROOT to specify GTest location.
  • If GTest is not found, it will be downloaded and built automatically.
• Boost
  • Required for benchmarks.

Quickstart rocSPARSE build and install

Install script

You can build rocSPARSE using the install.sh script

# Clone rocSPARSE using git
git clone https://github.com/ROCmSoftwarePlatform/rocSPARSE.git

# Go to rocSPARSE directory
cd rocSPARSE

# Run install.sh script
# Command line options:
#   -h|--help         - prints help message
#   -i|--install      - install after build
#   -d|--dependencies - install build dependencies
#   -c|--clients      - build library clients too (combines with -i & -d)
#   -g|--debug        - build with debug flag
./install.sh -dci

CMake

All compiler specifications are determined automatically. The compilation process can be performed by

# Clone rocSPARSE using git
git clone https://github.com/ROCmSoftwarePlatform/rocSPARSE.git

# Go to rocSPARSE directory, create and go to the build directory
cd rocSPARSE; mkdir -p build/release; cd build/release

# Configure rocSPARSE
# Build options:
#   BUILD_CLIENTS_TESTS      - build tests (OFF)
#   BUILD_CLIENTS_BENCHMARKS - build benchmarks (OFF)
#   BUILD_CLIENTS_SAMPLES    - build examples (ON)
#   BUILD_VERBOSE            - verbose output (OFF)
#   BUILD_SHARED_LIBS        - build rocSPARSE as a shared library (ON)
cmake -DBUILD_CLIENTS_TESTS=ON ../..

# Build
make

# Install
[sudo] make install

Unit tests

To run unit tests, rocSPARSE has to be built with option -DBUILD_CLIENTS_TESTS=ON.

# Go to rocSPARSE build directory
cd rocSPARSE; cd build/release

# Run all tests
./clients/tests/rocsparse-test

Benchmarks

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

# Go to rocSPARSE build directory
cd rocSPARSE/build/release

# Run benchmark, e.g.
./clients/benchmarks/rocsparse-bench -f hybmv --laplacian-dim 2000 -i 200
