CuPBoP: Cuda for Parallelized and Broad-range Processors

Introduction

CuPBoP is a framework which support executing unmodified CUDA source code on non-NVIDIA devices. Currently, CuPBoP support serveral CPU backends, including x86, AArch64, and RISC-V. Supporting the RISC-V GPU Vortex is working in progress.

Install

Prerequisites

Installation

  1. Clone from github

    git clone --recursive https://github.com/drcut/CuPBoP
    cd CuPBoP
    export CuPBoP_PATH=`pwd`
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$CuPBoP_PATH/build/runtime:$CuPBoP_PATH/build/runtime/threadPool:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    
  2. As CuPBoP relies on CUDA structures, we need to download the CUDA header file

    wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/r18io0zu3idke5p/cuda-header.tar.gz?dl=1
    tar -xzf 'cuda-header.tar.gz?dl=1'
    cp -r include/* runtime/threadPool/include/
    
  3. Other CUDA files are also required for compiling CUDA source code to LLVM IR

    wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/4pckqsjnl920gpn/cuda-10.1.tar.gz?dl=1
    tar -xzf 'cuda-10.1.tar.gz?dl=1'
    
  4. Build CuPBoP

    mkdir build && cd build
    cmake .. -DLLVM_CONFIG_PATH=`which llvm-config` # need path to llvm-config
    make
    

Run Vector Addition example
