Getting Started with Sympiler

We explain how you can build Sympiler and its iteration DAG partitioner from source.

Building Sympiler

Pre-requisites

  • CMake
  • C/C++ compiler (gcc, icc, or clang)
  • Fortran compiler (for compiling lapack)

Dependencies handled by CMake:

  • OpenMP : OpenMP is an optional dependency but without OpenMP, TBB is used internally.
  • METIS : METIS dependency is already handled by CMake.
  • a BLAS Library : (MKL or OpenBLAS) is required

Installation

Please use the following: 

git  clone --recursive https://github.com/sympiler/sympiler.git
cd sympiler
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release  -S . -B build
cmake --build build --config Release -j 6

Building DAG partitioners:

Pre-requisites

  • CMake
  • C/C++ compiler (gcc, icc, or clang)

Dependencies handled by CMake:

  • METIS : METIS dependency is already handled by CMake.

Installation

If the installation paths of these libraries are in the system path, CMake should be able to handle dependencies. If not, you should set CMake variables as shown below: 

git clone https://github.com/sympiler/aggregation.git
cd aggregation
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release  -S . -B build
cmake --build build --config Release -j 6

How to use sympiler?

Sympiler can be used as a code generator or as a library. The DAG partitioning algorithm used inside sympiler can also be used independently.

C++ API interface is here.
