Environment Configuration

CUDA:

  1. Set up PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables to point to CUDA installation
  2. Run make in target folder(s) with codes to generate executable(s)
  3. Run the generated executable file(s).

OpenCL:

  1. Set up PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables to point to OpenCL installation
  2. Set location of SDK in common.mk file in utilities folder (in OpenCL directory)
  3. Run make in target folder(s) to generate executable(s)
  4. Run the generated executable file(s).

HMPP (CAPS Compiler)

  1. Set up PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables to point to CUDA/OpenCL installation
  2. Set up HMPP/OpenACC environment variables with source hmpp-env.sh or caps-env.sh
  3. Run make exe in target folder(s) with codes to generate executable(s)
  4. Run the generated executable file(s).

OpenACC (RoseACC)

  1. Set up PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables for RoseACC (see RoseACC's Getting Started)
  2. Run make exe in target folder(s) with codes to generate executable(s)
  3. Run the generated executable file(s).

Modifying Codes

Parameters such as the input sizes, data type, and threshold for GPU-CPU output comparison can be modified using constants within the codes and .h files. After modifying, run make clean then make on relevant code for modifications to take effect in resulting executable.

Parameter Configuration:

Input Size:

By default the STANDARD_DATASET as defined in the .cuh/.h file is used as the input size. The dataset choice can be adjusted from STANDARD_DATASET to other options (MINI_DATASET, SMALL_DATASET, etc) in the .cuh/.h file, the dataset size can be adjusted by defining the input size manually in the .cuh/.h file, or the input size can be changed by simply adjusting the STANDARD_DATASET so the program has different input dimensions.

RUN_ON_CPU (in .cu/.c files):

Declares if the kernel will be run on the accelerator and CPU (with the run-time for each given and the outputs compared) or only on the accelerator. By default, RUN_ON_CPU is defined so the kernel is run on both the accelerator and the CPU to make it easy to compare accelerator/CPU outputs and run-times. Commenting out or removing the #define RUN_ON_CPU statement and re-compiling the code will cause the kernel to only be run on the accelerator.

DATA_TYPE (in .cuh/.h files):

By default, the DATA_TYPE used in these codes are float that can be changed to double by changing the DATA_TYPE typedef. Note that in OpenCL, the DATA_TYPE needs to be changed in both the .h and .cl files, as the .cl files contain the kernel code and is compiled separately at run-time.

PERCENT_DIFF_ERROR_THRESHOLD (in .cu/.c files):

The PERCENT_DIFF_ERROR_THRESHOLD refers to the percent difference (0.0-100.0) that the GPU and CPU results are allowed to differ and still be considered "matching"; this parameter can be adjusted for each code in the input code file.

OPENCL_DEVICE_SELECTION (in .c files for OpenCL)

Declares the type of accelerator to use for running the OpenCL kernel(s).

  • CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU - run the OpenCL kernel on the GPU (default)
  • CL_DEVICE_TYPE_CPU - run the OpenCL kernel on the CPU
  • CL_DEVICE_TYPE_ACCELERATOR - run the OpenCL kernel on another accelerator such as the Intel Xeon Phi processor or IBM Cell Blade

Other available options

These are passed as macro definitions during compilation time (e.g -Dname_of_the_option) or can be added with a #define to the code.

  • POLYBENCH_STACK_ARRAYS (only applies to allocation on host): use stack allocation instead of malloc [default: off]

  • POLYBENCH_DUMP_ARRAYS: dump all live-out arrays on stderr [default: off]

  • POLYBENCH_CYCLE_ACCURATE_TIMER: Use Time Stamp Counter to monitor the execution time of the kernel [default: off]

  • MINI_DATASET, SMALL_DATASET, STANDARD_DATASET, LARGE_DATASET, EXTRALARGE_DATASET: set the dataset size to be used [default: STANDARD_DATASET]

  • POLYBENCH_USE_C99_PROTO: Use standard C99 prototype for the functions.

  • POLYBENCH_USE_SCALAR_LB: Use scalar loop bounds instead of parametric ones.
