Accelerated computing with Fortran and Hipfort

A course in using hipfort for accelerated computing

Building the examples

This repository comes with examples that you can test drive on your own GPU accelerated systems (AMD or Nvidia). To get started, you will need

• A 2008 Fortran standard compliant Fortran compiler
• ROCm
• HIPFort
• CMake (v 3.21 or greater)

After you clone this repository and navigate into its directory on your local workstation,

1. Create a build directory

mkdir build/

2. Run cmake, specifying the hipfc wrapper as the Fortran compiler

FC=hipfc cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${HOME}/.local/ ../ 

Note

The CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable sets the destination for the example applications. The above example will install binaries at ${HOME}/.local/bin

3. Build the examples

make

4. Install the examples

make install

5. Add the binary and library paths to your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables

export PATH=$PATH:${HOME}/.local/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${HOME}/.local/lib
