LAPACK C++ API
|
Configure and compile the LAPACK++ library and its tester, then install the headers and library.
Option 1: Makefile
make && make install
Option 2: CMake
# LAPACK++ requires BLAS++, from # https://github.com/icl-utk-edu/blaspp cd /path/to/blaspp mkdir build && cd build cmake .. make && make install # After installing BLAS++ above cd /path/to/lapackpp mkdir build && cd build cmake .. make && make install
Standard environment variables affect both Makefile (configure.py) and CMake. These include:
LD Linker; defaults to CXX CXX C++ compiler CXXFLAGS C++ compiler flags LDFLAGS linker flags CPATH compiler include search path LIBRARY_PATH compile-time library search path LD_LIBRARY_PATH runtime library search path DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH runtime library search path on macOS CUDA_PATH path to CUDA, e.g., /usr/local/cuda CUDA_HOME also recognized for path to CUDA ROCM_PATH path to ROCm, e.g., /opt/rocm
See the BLAS++ INSTALL.md for BLAS++ specific options. Since the LAPACK library is often bundled with the BLAS library, such as -lopenblas, it should be specified in BLAS++.
LAPACK++ specific options include (all values are case insensitive):
lapack LAPACK libraries to search for. LAPACK is often included in the BLAS library (e.g., -lopenblas contains both), so there is usually no need to specify this. One or more of: auto search for all libraries (default) generic generic -llapack LAPACK_LIBRARIES Specify the exact LAPACK libraries, overriding the built-in search. Again, there is usually no need to specify this. E.g., cmake -DLAPACK_LIBRARIES='-lopenblas' .. gpu_backend BLAS++ must be built with the same GPU backend. auto (default) auto-detect CUDA, HIP/ROCm, or SYCL cuda build with CUDA support hip build with HIP/ROCm support sycl build with SYCL and oneMKL support none do not build with GPU backend color Whether to use ANSI colors in output. One of: auto uses color if output is a TTY (default with Makefile; not support with CMake) yes (default with CMake) no
With Makefile, options are specified as environment variables or on the command line using option=value
syntax, such as:
python3 configure.py lapack=generic
With CMake, options are specified on the command line using -Doption=value
syntax (not as environment variables), such as:
cmake -Dblas=mkl ..
Available targets:
make - configures (if make.inc is missing), then compiles the library and tester make config - configures LAPACK++, creating a make.inc file make lib - compiles the library (lib/liblapackpp.so) make tester - compiles test/tester make check - run basic checks using tester make docs - generates documentation in docs/html/index.html make install - installs the library and headers to \f${prefix} make uninstall - remove installed library and headers from \f${prefix} make clean - deletes object (*.o) and library (*.a, *.so) files make distclean - also deletes make.inc and dependency files (*.d)
make config [options] or python3 configure.py [options]
Runs the configure.py
script to detect your compiler and library properties, then creates a make.inc configuration file. You can also manually edit the make.inc file. Options are name=value pairs to set variables.
Besides the Environment variables and Options listed above, additional options include:
static Whether to build as a static or shared library. 0 shared library (default) 1 static library prefix Where to install, default /opt/slate. Headers go in \f${prefix}/include, library goes in \f${prefix}/lib\f${LIB_SUFFIX}
These can be set in your environment or on the command line, e.g.,
python3 configure.py CXX=g++ prefix=/usr/local
Configure assumes environment variables are set so your compiler can find BLAS and LAPACK libraries. For example:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/my-blas/lib64" # or DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on macOS export LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/my-blas/lib64" export CPATH="/opt/my-blas/include" or export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/my-blas/lib64 -Wl,-rpath,/opt/my-blas/lib64" export CXXFLAGS="-I/opt/my-blas/include"
On some systems, loading the appropriate module will set these flags:
module load my-blas
Intel MKL provides scripts to set these flags, e.g.:
source /opt/intel/bin/compilervars.sh intel64 or source /opt/intel/mkl/bin/mklvars.sh intel64
IBM ESSL provides only a subset of LAPACK functions, so Netlib LAPACK is also required.
If you have a specific configuration that you want, set CXX, CXXFLAGS, LDFLAGS, and LIBS, e.g.:
export CXX="g++" export CXXFLAGS="-I\f${MKLROOT}/include -fopenmp" export LDFLAGS="-L\f${MKLROOT}/lib/intel64 -Wl,-rpath,\f${MKLROOT}/lib/intel64 -fopenmp" export LIBS="-lmkl_gf_lp64 -lmkl_gnu_thread -lmkl_core -lm"
These can also be set when running configure:
make config CXX=g++ \ CXXFLAGS="-I\f${MKLROOT}/include -fopenmp" \ LDFLAGS="-L\f${MKLROOT}/lib/intel64 -Wl,-rpath,\f${MKLROOT}/lib/intel64 -fopenmp" \ LIBS="-lmkl_gf_lp64 -lmkl_gnu_thread -lmkl_core -lm"
Note that all test programs are compiled with those options, so errors may cause configure to fail.
If you experience unexpected problems, please see config/log.txt to diagnose the issue. The log shows the option being tested, the exact command run, the command's standard output (stdout), error output (stderr), and exit status. All test files are in the config directory.
LAPACK++ requires BLAS++ and inherits its dependencies from BLAS++, so BLAS++ must be installed first via CMake, before running CMake for LAPACK++. Information and installation instructions can be found at https://github.com/icl-utk-edu/blaspp. Briefly:
# LAPACK++ requires BLAS++, from # https://github.com/icl-utk-edu/blaspp cd /path/to/blaspp cmake [-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install] [options] .. make make install
The CMake script enforces an out-of-source build. Create a build directory under the LAPACK++ root directory:
# After installing BLAS++ above cd /path/to/lapackpp mkdir build && cd build cmake [-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install] [options] .. make make install
LAPACK++ should find BLAS++ if it is installed in a system default location (e.g., /usr/local), or their install prefix is the same. If LAPACK++ can't find BLAS++, you can point to its directory:
cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/install [options] .. or cmake -Dblaspp_DIR=/path/to/install/lib/blaspp [options] ..
LAPACK++ uses the TestSweeper library (https://github.com/icl-utk-edu/testsweeper) to run its tests. If CMake doesn't find TestSweeper, it will be downloaded and compiled. To use a different TestSweeper build that was not installed, you can point to its directory.
cmake -Dtestsweeper_DIR=/path/to/testsweeper/build [options] ..
Besides the Environment variables and Options listed above, additional options include:
build_tests Whether to build test suite (test/tester). Requires TestSweeper, CBLAS, and LAPACKE. One of: yes (default) no use_cmake_find_lapack Whether to use CMake's FindLAPACK, instead of LAPACK++ search. Again, as LAPACK is often included in the BLAS library, there is usually no need to specify this. One of: yes no (default) If BLA_VENDOR is set, it automatically uses CMake's FindLAPACK. BLA_VENDOR Use CMake's FindLAPACK, instead of LAPACK++ search. For values, see: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindLAPACK.html
Standard CMake options include:
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS Whether to build as a static or shared library. One of: yes shared library (default) no static library CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX (alias prefix) Where to install, default /opt/slate. Headers go in \f${prefix}/include, library goes in \f${prefix}/lib CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH Where to look for CMake packages such as BLAS++ and TestSweeper. CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Type of build. One of: [empty] default compiler optimization (no flags) Debug no optimization, with asserts (-O0 -g) Release optimized, no asserts, no debug info (-O3 -DNDEBUG) RelWithDebInfo optimized, no asserts, with debug info (-O2 -DNDEBUG -g) MinSizeRel Release, but optimized for size (-Os -DNDEBUG) CMAKE_MESSAGE_LOG_LEVEL (alias log) Level of messages to report. In ascending order: FATAL_ERROR, SEND_ERROR, WARNING, AUTHOR_WARNING, DEPRECATION, NOTICE, STATUS, VERBOSE, DEBUG, TRACE. Particularly, DEBUG or TRACE gives useful information.
With CMake, options are specified on the command line using -Doption=value
syntax (not as environment variables), such as:
# in build directory cmake -Dbuild_tests=no -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ..
Alternatively, use the ccmake
text-based interface or the CMake app GUI.
# in build directory ccmake .. # Type 'c' to configure, then 'g' to generate Makefile
To re-configure CMake, you may need to delete CMake's cache:
# in build directory rm CMakeCache.txt # or rm -rf * cmake [options] ..
To debug the build, set VERBOSE
:
# in build directory, after running cmake make VERBOSE=1
