Build MIOpen using Docker

Build MIOpen using Docker#

You can build MIOpen using Docker by either downloading a prebuilt image or creating your own.

Note

For ease of use, we recommended using the prebuilt Docker image.

  • Downloading a prebuilt image

    You can find prebuilt Docker images at ROCm Docker Hub.

  • Building your own image

    docker build -t miopen-image .

    To enter the development environment, use docker run. For example:

    docker run -it -v $HOME:/data --privileged --rm --device=/dev/kfd --device /dev/dri:/dev/dri:rw
--volume /dev/dri:/dev/dri:rw -v /var/lib/docker/:/var/lib/docker --group-add video
--cap-add=SYS_PTRACE --security-opt seccomp=unconfined miopen-image

    Once in the Docker environment, use git clone MIOpen. You can now start building MIOpen using CMake.

Building MIOpen from source#

Use the following instructions to build MIOpen from source.

  1. Create a build directory:

    mkdir build; cd build;

  2. Configure CMake using either an MIOpen or a HIP backend.

    MIOpen backend:

    Set your preferred backend using the -DMIOPEN_BACKEND CMake variable.

    HIP backend (ROCm 3.5 and later):

    First, set the C++ compiler to clang++:

    export CXX=<location-of-clang++-compiler>

    Then, run the following command to configure CMake:

    cmake -DMIOPEN_BACKEND=HIP -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="<hip-installed-path>;<rocm-installed-path>;<miopen-dependency-path>" ..

    For example, you can set CMake to:

    export CXX=/opt/rocm/llvm/bin/clang++ && \
cmake -DMIOPEN_BACKEND=HIP -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/opt/rocm/;/opt/rocm/hip;/root/MIOpen/install_dir" ..

    Note

    When specifying the path for CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, do not use the tilde (~) shorthand for the home directory.

Choosing an install location#

By default, the install location is set to /opt/rocm. If you used a different install location, set your install path using CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:

cmake -DMIOPEN_BACKEND=OpenCL -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<miopen-installed-path> ..
