If this - happens, abort execution of the tune program; it is not required for - correct operation of the BLAS routines (as of 8.872). - * The CPU device for clBLAS is not functioning for this release (as of - 8.872).

(This is the default.) - - ./install-clBLAS-${version}.sh - - This prints an EULA and uncompresses files into the chosen install - directory. - - cd ${installDir}/bin64 - export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${OpenCLLibDir}:${clBLASLibDir} - - Be sure to export library dependencies to resolve all external - linkages to the client program; you can create a bash script to - help automate this procedure. - - ./example_sgemm - - Run a simple client; one example is provided for each supported - main BLAS function family. - -The sample program does not ship with native build files; instead, a CMake -file is shipped, and the user generates a native build file for their system. - -For example: - - cd ${installDir} - - mkdir samplesBin/ - - This creates a sister directory to the samples directory that - houses the native makefiles and the generated files from the - build. - - cd samplesBin/ - ccmake ../samples/ - - ccmake is a curses-based cmake program; it takes a parameter - that specifies the location of the source code to compile. - - Hit 'c' to configure for the platform; ensure that the - dependencies to external libraries are satisfied, including - paths to 'ATI Stream SDK'. - - After dependencies are satisfied, hit 'c' again to finalize - configuration. Then, hit 'g' to generate a makefile and - exit ccmake. - - make help - - Look at the options available for make. - - make - - Build the sample client program. - - ./example_sgemm - - Run a simple client; one example is provided for each supported main - BLAS function family. |
