Build gRPC and Protoc#

gRPC and Protoc must be built from source as the prebuilt packages are not available for the same. Here are the steps:

1. Install the required tools:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install automake make g++ unzip build-essential autoconf libtool pkg-config libgflags-dev libgtest-dev clang libc++-dev curl
   

2. Clone and build gRPC:

   git clone -b v1.61.0 https://github.com/grpc/grpc --depth=1 --shallow-submodules --recurse-submodules
   cd grpc
   export GRPC_ROOT=/opt/grpc
   cmake -B build \
       -DgRPC_INSTALL=ON \
       -DgRPC_BUILD_TESTS=OFF \
       -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON \
       -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$GRPC_ROOT" \
       -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib \
       -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
   make -C build -j $(nproc)
   sudo make -C build install
   echo "$GRPC_ROOT" | sudo tee /etc/ld.so.conf.d/grpc.conf
   sudo ldconfig
   cd ..
   

Build RDC#

1. Clone the RDC repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ROCm/rdc
   cd rdc
   

2. Configure the build:

   cmake -B build -DGRPC_ROOT="$GRPC_ROOT"
   

3. You can also enable the following optional features:

   • ROCm profiler:

     cmake -B build -DBUILD_PROFILER=ON
     

   • ROCm Validation Suite (RVS):

     cmake -B build -DBUILD_RVS=ON
     

   • RDC library only (without rdci and rdcd):

     cmake -B build -DBUILD_STANDALONE=OFF
     

   • RDC library without ROCm runtime:

     cmake -B build -DBUILD_RUNTIME=OFF
     

4. Build and install:

   make -C build -j $(nproc)
   sudo make -C build install
   

5. Update system library path:

   export RDC_LIB_DIR=/opt/rocm/lib/rdc
   export GRPC_LIB_DIR="/opt/grpc/lib"
   echo "${RDC_LIB_DIR}" | sudo tee /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-librdc_client.conf
   echo "${GRPC_LIB_DIR}" | sudo tee -a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-librdc_client.conf
   sudo ldconfig
