README.md

GooFit is a massively-parallel framework, written in CUDA, for doing maximum-likelihood fits. It is also possible to build GooFit using OpenMP.

Requirements

  • If using CUDA:
    • CUDA 4.2 or 5.x
    • An nVidia GPU supporting compute capability at least 2.0
  • If building for OpenMP:
    • a compiler supporting OpenMP

Installation

  • Clone with git:

    git clone git://github.com/GooFit/GooFit.git

  • check that the path setting in Makefile for CUDALOCATION is correct for your system

    • If using OpenMP, CUDALOCATION should point at ./fakecuda
    • Set TARGET_OMP = 1 in the Makefile
    • Put ./fakcuda on your PATH, e.g. export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/GooFit/fakecuda (n.b. the use of g++ is hardwired in fakecuda/nvcc; this is bad)
    • Install a copy of CUDA's thrust in ./thrust (there's nothing to compile)
  • then compile with gmake.

As an alternative to modifying the Makefile, you can pass the values as e.g. gmake CUDALOCATION=$HOME/Src/GooFit/fakecuda TARGET_OMP=1

Building the Examples Fits

  • If you have Root on your system,
    • set the path to full root installation (bash syntax) export ROOTSYS=

  • If you don't have Root, do NOT set ROOTSYS

  • check that the path setting in examples/simpleFit/Makefile for CUDALOCATION is correct for your system

    • If using OpenMP, CUDALOCATION should point at ./fakecuda
    • Set TARGET_OMP = 1 in the Makefile
  • change to the examples/simpleFit directory and buid the program(s): cd examples/simpleFit ; gmake all (you'll recall that you can set CUDALOCATION and TARGET_OMP on the command line instead of modifying the Makefile)

Running the Example Fit

  • Setup the bin and library paths for root

    export PATH=$PATH:$ROOTSYS/bin:.
# On Linux:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ROOTSYS/lib:<GooFit path>/rootstuff
# On Mac:
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ROOTSYS/lib:<GooFit path>/rootstuff

    (If you don't have Root, don't modify the PATH and omit $ROOTSYS/lib:)

  • To run the simple fit example type: ./simpleFitExample (If you didn't define ROOTSYS the data and fits will be written to stdout)
