Building and installing hipCUB with CMake

You can build and install hipCUB with CMake on AMD and NVIDIA GPUs on Windows or Linux.

Before you begin, set CXX to amdclang++ or hipcc if you’re building hipCUB on an AMD GPU, or to nvcc if you’re building hipCUB on an NVIDIA GPU. Then set CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to the compiler’s absolute path. For example:

CXX=amdclang++
CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/opt/rocm/bin/amdclang++

Create the build directory inside the hipCUB directory, then change directory to the build directory:

mkdir build
cd build

Generate the makefile using the cmake command:

cmake ../. [-D<OPTION1=VALUE1> [-D<OPTION2=VALUE2>] ...]

The available build options are:

• BUILD_BENCHMARK. Set this to ON to build benchmark tests. Off by default.

• BUILD_TEST. Set this to ON to build tests. Off by default.

• DEPENDENCIES_FORCE_DOWNLOAD. Set this to ON to download the dependencies regardless of whether or not they are already installed. Off by default.

Build hipCUB using the generated make file:

make -j4

After you’ve built hipCUB, you can optionally generate tar, zip, and deb packages:

make package

Finally, install hipCUB:

make install
