Prerequisites

• Linux

  • Ubuntu - 20.04 / 22.04
  • CentOS - 7
  • RedHat - 8 / 9
  • SLES - 15-SP4

• ROCm supported hardware

• Install ROCm with amdgpu-install with --usecase=rocm

• Clang Version 5.0.1 and above

  • Ubuntu 20/22

  sudo apt-get install clang

  • CentOS 7

  sudo yum install llvm-toolset-7-clang llvm-toolset-7-clang-analyzer llvm-toolset-7-clang-tools-extra
  scl enable llvm-toolset-7 bash

  • RHEL 8/9

  sudo yum install clang

  • SLES 15-SP4 (use ROCm LLVM Clang)

  zypper -n --no-gpg-checks install clang
  update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/clang clang /opt/rocm-*/llvm/bin/clang 100
  update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/clang++ clang++ /opt/rocm-*/llvm/bin/clang++ 100

• CMake Version 3.5 and above

• IEEE 754-based half-precision floating-point library (half.hpp)

  • half package install

  sudo apt-get install half

• Compiler with support for C++ Version 17 and above

• OpenMP

• Threads

Note

You must use the appropriate package manager for your operating system.

Build and install instructions

Package install

Install RPP runtime, development, and test packages.

• Runtime package - rpp only provides the rpp library librpp.so
• Development package - rpp-dev/rpp-devel provides the library, header files, and samples
• Test package - rpp-test provides CTest to verify installation

Note

Package install will auto install all dependencies.

Ubuntu

sudo apt install rpp rpp-dev rpp-test

RHEL

sudo yum install rpp rpp-devel rpp-test

SLES

sudo zypper install rpp rpp-devel rpp-test

Source build and install

• Clone RPP git repository

  git clone https://github.com/ROCm/rpp.git

Note

RPP has support for two GPU backends: OPENCL and HIP:

• Instructions for building RPP with the HIP GPU backend (default GPU backend):

  mkdir build-hip
  cd build-hip
  cmake ../rpp
  make -j8
  sudo make install

  • Run tests - test option instructions

  make test

Note

make test requires test suite prerequisites installed

• Instructions for building RPP with OPENCL GPU backend

  mkdir build-ocl
  cd build-ocl
  cmake -DBACKEND=OCL ../rpp
  make -j8
  sudo make install

Verify installation

The installer will copy

• Libraries into /opt/rocm/lib
• Header files into /opt/rocm/include/rpp
• Samples folder into /opt/rocm/share/rpp
• Documents folder into /opt/rocm/share/doc/rpp

Note

Test suite prerequisites install is required to run tests

Verify with rpp-test package

Test package will install CTest module to test rpp. Follow below steps to test package install

mkdir rpp-test && cd rpp-test
cmake /opt/rocm/share/rpp/test/
ctest -VV

Test Functionalities

To test the functionalities of RPP, run the code shown for your backend:

• HIP

    cd rpp/utilities/rpp-unittests/HIP_NEW
    ./testAllScript.sh

• OpenCL

    cd rpp/utilities/rpp-unittests/OCL_NEW
    ./testAllScript.sh

  • CPU

    cd rpp/utilities/rpp-unittests/HOST_NEW
    ./testAllScript.sh

MIVisionX support - OpenVX extension

MIVisionX RPP extension vx_rpp supports RPP functionality through the OpenVX Framework.
