LibreTT - Tensor Transpose Library

LibreTT is a free Tensor Transpose Library for nVidia, AMD, and Intel GPU accelerators.

About

LibreTT is a portable Tensor Transpose library that incorporates and superseds the original cuTT library, https://github.com/ap-hynninen/cutt, which is no longer supported due to tragic death of its author, Antti-Pekka Hynninen in a car accident. Enhancements include adding thread safety by Valeyev Lab at Virginia Tech, https://github.com/ValeevGroup/cutt, incorporating AMD GPU support by Dmitry Lyakh, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, https://github.com/DmitryLyakh/hipTT followed by implementation of warpsize 64 by Alessandro Fanfarillo, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., and adding SYCL support by Argonne National Laboratory.

Manual Compilation

make cuda [tests=all]

make hip [tests=all]

make sycl [groupsize=16 | groupsize=32] [tests=all]

The default mode make cuda | hip | sycl will compile portable tests only, i.e. tests 1, 2, and 3.

The option tests=all instructs the build process to compile all tests in librett_test.cpp.

CUDA: Use make cuda tests=all to build all tests or make cuda to build only portable tests.

HIP: Use make hip to build only portable tests since non-portable tests 4 and 5 will fail for HIP platform.

SYCL: Use make sycl to build only portable tests. The groupsize=16 is default for SYCL platform.

The non-portable test 5 will fail with make sycl groupsize=16 tests=all.

Use make sycl groupsize=32 tests=all to check that all tests pass.

The outcome of manual build

• bin/ librett_test, librett_bench, example
• build/ temporary placeholder for object files
• include/ librett.h
• lib/ librett.a

CMake compilation:

Example of CUDA compilation: cmake -H. -Bbuild -DENABLE_CUDA=ON -DCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES=70

Example of HIP compilation: cmake -H. -Bbuild -DENABLE_HIP=ON -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=hipcc -DCMAKE_HIP_ARCHITECTURES=gfx908

Example of SYCL compilation: cmake -H. -Bbuild -DENABLE_SYCL=ON -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icpx

Testing options: -DENABLE_TESTS=ON (default)

Testing

Manual build: Execute bin/librett_test without arguments.
CMake build: Execute ctest
