Building the environment#

To build ROCmBandwidthTest, users must ensure that the build platform has the following conditions satisfied.

Build the procedure#

This section lists the steps to build ROCmBandwidthTest.

  1. Create a build directory in the project folder - roc_bandwidth_test.

mkdir ./build
  1. Set working directory to be the new build directory.

cd ./build
  1. Invoke Cmake to interpret build rules and generate native build files. The argument for cmake should be the root folder of ROCmBandwidthTest test suite.

# Assume that ROCR Runtime has its libraries & headers are located in the path :
# libraries : _ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_ROCR_LIBS_/lib
# headers   : _ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_ROCR_LIBS_/include/hsa
# Note : Observe that both include & lib folder are under common path (_ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_ROCR_LIBS_)

# Builds Debug version
# Assumes pwd is _ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_RBT/roc_bandwidth_test/build

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Debug"   \
    -DCMAKE_MODULE_PATH="_ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_RBT/rocm_bandwidth_test/cmake_modules"  \
    -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="_ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_ROCR_LIBS_"
    ..

# Builds Release version - default
# Assumes pwd is _ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_RBT/roc_bandwidth_test/build
cmake -DCMAKE_MODULE_PATH="_ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_RBT/rocm_bandwidth_test/cmake_modules"  \
    -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="_ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_ROCR_LIBS_"
  1. Invoke the native build rules generated by cmake to build the various object, library and executable files.

make
  1. Invoke the install command to copy build artifacts to pre-defined folders of ROCmBandwidthTest suite. Upon completion, the artifacts are copied to the bin and lib directories of build directory.

make install

All executables will be found in the <build_directory> folder.
