## Introduction | ||
|
||
OpenBLAS is an optimized BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms) library based on GotoBLAS2 1.13 BSD version. | ||
|
||
Please read the documentation on the OpenBLAS wiki pages: <https://github.com/xianyi/OpenBLAS/wiki>. | ||
|
||
For a general introduction to the BLAS routines, please refer to the extensive documentation of their reference implementation hosted at netlib: | ||
<https://www.netlib.org/blas>. On that site you will likewise find documentation for the reference implementation of the higher-level library LAPACK - the **L**inear **A**lgebra **Pack**age that comes included with OpenBLAS. If you are looking for a general primer or refresher on Linear Algebra, the set of six | ||
20-minute lecture videos by Prof. Gilbert Strang on either MIT OpenCourseWare <https://ocw.mit.edu/resources/res-18-010-a-2020-vision-of-linear-algebra-spring-2020/> or Youtube <https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUl4u3cNGP61iQEFiWLE21EJCxwmWvvek> may be helpful. | ||
|
||
## Binary Packages | ||
|
||
We provide official binary packages for the following platform: | ||
|
||
* Windows x86/x86_64 | ||
|
||
You can download them from [file hosting on sourceforge.net](https://sourceforge.net/projects/openblas/files/) or from the Releases section of the github project page, [https://github.com/xianyi/OpenBLAS/releases](https://github.com/xianyi/OpenBLAS/releases). | ||
|
||
## Installation from Source | ||
|
||
Download from project homepage, https://xianyi.github.com/OpenBLAS/, or check out the code | ||
using Git from https://github.com/xianyi/OpenBLAS.git. (If you want the most up to date version, be | ||
sure to use the develop branch - master is several years out of date due to a change of maintainership.) | ||
Buildtime parameters can be chosen in Makefile.rule, see there for a short description of each option. | ||
Most can also be given directly on the make or cmake command line. | ||
|
||
### Dependencies | ||
|
||
Building OpenBLAS requires the following to be installed: | ||
|
||
* GNU Make | ||
* A C compiler, e.g. GCC or Clang | ||
* A Fortran compiler (optional, for LAPACK) | ||
* IBM MASS (optional, see below) | ||
|
||
### Normal compile | ||
|
||
Simply invoking `make` (or `gmake` on BSD) will detect the CPU automatically. | ||
To set a specific target CPU, use `make TARGET=xxx`, e.g. `make TARGET=NEHALEM`. | ||
The full target list is in the file `TargetList.txt`, other build optionss are documented in Makefile.rule and | ||
can either be set there (typically by removing the comment character from the respective line), or used on the | ||
`make` command line. | ||
Note that when you run `make install` after building, you need to repeat all command line options you provided to `make` | ||
in the build step, as some settings like the supported maximum number of threads are automatically derived from the | ||
build host by default, which might not be what you want. | ||
For building with `cmake`, the usual conventions apply, i.e. create a build directory either underneath the toplevel | ||
OpenBLAS source directory or separate from it, and invoke `cmake` there with the path to the source tree and any | ||
build options you plan to set. | ||
|
||
### Cross compile | ||
|
||
Set `CC` and `FC` to point to the cross toolchains, and set `HOSTCC` to your host C compiler. | ||
The target must be specified explicitly when cross compiling. | ||
|
||
Examples: | ||
|
||
* On an x86 box, compile this library for a loongson3a CPU: | ||
```sh | ||
make BINARY=64 CC=mips64el-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc FC=mips64el-unknown-linux-gnu-gfortran HOSTCC=gcc TARGET=LOONGSON3A | ||
``` | ||
or same with the newer mips-crosscompiler put out by Loongson that defaults to the 32bit ABI: | ||
```sh | ||
make HOSTCC=gcc CC='/opt/mips-loongson-gcc7.3-linux-gnu/2019.06-29/bin/mips-linux-gnu-gcc -mabi=64' FC='/opt/mips-loongson-gcc7.3-linux-gnu/2019.06-29/bin/mips-linux-gnu-gfortran -mabi=64' TARGET=LOONGSON3A | ||
``` | ||
|
||
* On an x86 box, compile this library for a loongson3a CPU with loongcc (based on Open64) compiler: | ||
```sh | ||
make CC=loongcc FC=loongf95 HOSTCC=gcc TARGET=LOONGSON3A CROSS=1 CROSS_SUFFIX=mips64el-st-linux-gnu- NO_LAPACKE=1 NO_SHARED=1 BINARY=32 | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Debug version | ||
|
||
A debug version can be built using `make DEBUG=1`. | ||
|
||
### Compile with MASS support on Power CPU (optional) | ||
|
||
The [IBM MASS](https://www.ibm.com/support/home/product/W511326D80541V01/other_software/mathematical_acceleration_subsystem) library consists of a set of mathematical functions for C, C++, and Fortran applications that are tuned for optimum performance on POWER architectures. | ||
OpenBLAS with MASS requires a 64-bit, little-endian OS on POWER. | ||
The library can be installed as shown: | ||
|
||
* On Ubuntu: | ||
```sh | ||
wget -q http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/server/POWER/Linux/xl-compiler/eval/ppc64le/ubuntu/public.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - | ||
echo "deb http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/server/POWER/Linux/xl-compiler/eval/ppc64le/ubuntu/ trusty main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ibm-xl-compiler-eval.list | ||
sudo apt-get update | ||
sudo apt-get install libxlmass-devel.8.1.5 | ||
``` | ||
|
||
* On RHEL/CentOS: | ||
```sh | ||
wget http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/server/POWER/Linux/xl-compiler/eval/ppc64le/rhel7/repodata/repomd.xml.key | ||
sudo rpm --import repomd.xml.key | ||
wget http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/server/POWER/Linux/xl-compiler/eval/ppc64le/rhel7/ibm-xl-compiler-eval.repo | ||
sudo cp ibm-xl-compiler-eval.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/ | ||
sudo yum install libxlmass-devel.8.1.5 | ||
``` | ||
|
||
After installing the MASS library, compile OpenBLAS with `USE_MASS=1`. | ||
For example, to compile on Power8 with MASS support: `make USE_MASS=1 TARGET=POWER8`. | ||
|
||
### Install to a specific directory (optional) | ||
|
||
Use `PREFIX=` when invoking `make`, for example | ||
|
||
```sh | ||
make install PREFIX=your_installation_directory | ||
``` | ||
(along with all options you added on the `make` command line in the preceding build step) | ||
The default installation directory is `/opt/OpenBLAS`. | ||
|
||
## Supported CPUs and Operating Systems | ||

``` | ||
(also known to work on C906 as long as you use only single-precision functions - its instruction set support appears to be incomplete in double precision) | ||
|
||
### Support for multiple targets in a single library | ||
|
||
OpenBLAS can be built for multiple targets with runtime detection of the target cpu by specifiying `DYNAMIC_ARCH=1` in Makefile.rule, on the gmake command line or as `-DDYNAMIC_ARCH=TRUE` in cmake. | ||
|
||
For **x86_64**, the list of targets this activates contains Prescott, Core2, Nehalem, Barcelona, Sandybridge, Bulldozer, Piledriver, Steamroller, Excavator, Haswell, Zen, SkylakeX, Cooper Lake, Sapphire Rapids. For cpu generations not included in this list, the corresponding older model is used. If you also specify `DYNAMIC_OLDER=1`, specific support for Penryn, Dunnington, Opteron, Opteron/SSE3, Bobcat, Atom and Nano is added. Finally there is an option `DYNAMIC_LIST` that allows to specify an individual list of targets to include instead of the default. | ||
|
||
`DYNAMIC_ARCH` is also supported on **x86**, where it translates to Katmai, Coppermine, Northwood, Prescott, Banias, | ||
Core2, Penryn, Dunnington, Nehalem, Athlon, Opteron, Opteron_SSE3, Barcelona, Bobcat, Atom and Nano. | ||
|
||
On **ARMV8**, it enables support for CortexA53, CortexA57, CortexA72, CortexA73, Falkor, ThunderX, ThunderX2T99, TSV110 as well as generic ARMV8 cpus. If compiler support for SVE is available at build time, support for NeoverseN2, NeoverseV1 as well as generic ArmV8SVE targets is also enabled. | ||
|
||
For **POWER**, the list encompasses POWER6, POWER8 and POWER9. POWER10 is additionally available if a sufficiently recent compiler is used for the build. | ||
|
||
on **ZARCH** it comprises Z13 and Z14 as well as generic zarch support. | ||
|
||
The `TARGET` option can be used in conjunction with `DYNAMIC_ARCH=1` to specify which cpu model should be assumed for all the | ||
common code in the library, usually you will want to set this to the oldest model you expect to encounter. | ||
Please note that it is not possible to combine support for different architectures, so no combined 32 and 64 bit or x86_64 and arm64 in the same library. | ||
|
||

## Build and install OpenBLAS for A64FX | ||
|
||
## Usage | ||
### Notice | ||
* To make a library for A64FX, specify `TARGET=A64FX` at make command, | ||
* In the following descriptions, `$INSTALL_PATH` is the name of the directory in which to install the OpenBLAS libraries and header files. | ||
|
||
Statically link with `libopenblas.a` or dynamically link with `-lopenblas` if OpenBLAS was | ||
compiled as a shared library. | ||
### Build and install the sequential library | ||
``` | ||
$ make CC=gcc TARGET=A64FX | ||
$ make CC=gcc TARGET=A64FX install PREFIX=$INSTALL_PATH | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Setting the number of threads using environment variables | ||
### Build and install threaded parallel Library parallelized with OpenMP | ||
``` | ||
$ make USE_OPENMP=1 CC=gcc TARGET=A64FX | ||
$ make USE_OPENMP=1 CC=gcc TARGET=A64FX install PREFIX=$INSTALL_PATH | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Environment variables are used to specify a maximum number of threads. | ||
For example, | ||
### Build and install ILP64 sequential library | ||
``` | ||
$ make CC=gcc TARGET=A64FX INTERFACE64=1 | ||
$ make CC=gcc TARGET=A64FX INTERFACE64=1 install PREFIX=$INSTALL_PATH | ||
``` | ||
|
||
```sh | ||
export OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS=4 | ||
export GOTO_NUM_THREADS=4 | ||
export OMP_NUM_THREADS=4 | ||
### Build and install ILP64 threaded parallel Library parallelized with OpenMP | ||
``` | ||
$ make USE_OPENMP=1 CC=gcc TARGET=A64FX INTERFACE64=1 | ||
$ make USE_OPENMP=1 CC=gcc TARGET=A64FX INTERFACE64=1 install PREFIX=$INSTALL_PATH | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The priorities are `OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS` > `GOTO_NUM_THREADS` > `OMP_NUM_THREADS`. | ||
# Usage | ||
|
||
If you compile this library with `USE_OPENMP=1`, you should set the `OMP_NUM_THREADS` | ||
environment variable; OpenBLAS ignores `OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS` and `GOTO_NUM_THREADS` when | ||
compiled with `USE_OPENMP=1`. | ||
To use the OpenBLAS library, add `-lopenblas` as an option when linking user programs. | ||
Also, use the `-L` and `-I` options to specify the directory where you installed the libraries and header files. | ||
|
||
### Setting the number of threads at runtime | ||
## How to compile | ||
|
||
We provide the following functions to control the number of threads at runtime: | ||
* For Fortran programs | ||
|
||
```c | ||
void goto_set_num_threads(int num_threads); | ||
void openblas_set_num_threads(int num_threads); | ||
``` | ||
Note that these are only used once at library initialization, and are not available for | ||
fine-tuning thread numbers in individual BLAS calls. | ||
If you compile this library with `USE_OPENMP=1`, you should use the above functions too. | ||
|
||

|
||
## Change log | ||
It is recommended to use large pages for performance. | ||
For Technical Computing Suite environments, HPC extension large page library can be used | ||
by adding `-L/opt/FJSVxos/mmm/lib64 -lmpg -Wl,-T/opt/FJSVxos/mmm/util/bss-2mb.lds ` to the options. Specify this option before any other libraries. | ||
``` | ||
gcc a.c -L/opt/FJSVxos/mmm/lib64 -lmpg -Wl,-T/opt/FJSVxos/mmm/util/bss-2mb.lds -I$INSTALL_PATH/include -L$INSTALL_PATH/lib -lopenblas | ||
``` | ||

# Performance | ||
|
||
## Troubleshooting | ||
The OpenBLAS library in this product improves the performance of SGEMM as follows: | ||
|
||
* Please read the [FAQ](https://github.com/xianyi/OpenBLAS/wiki/Faq) first. | ||
* Please use GCC version 4.6 and above to compile Sandy Bridge AVX kernels on Linux/MinGW/BSD. | ||
* Please use Clang version 3.1 and above to compile the library on Sandy Bridge microarchitecture. | ||
Clang 3.0 will generate the wrong AVX binary code. | ||
* Please use GCC version 6 or LLVM version 6 and above to compile Skylake AVX512 kernels. | ||
* The number of CPUs/cores should be less than or equal to 256. On Linux `x86_64` (`amd64`), | ||
there is experimental support for up to 1024 CPUs/cores and 128 numa nodes if you build | ||
the library with `BIGNUMA=1`. | ||
* OpenBLAS does not set processor affinity by default. | ||
On Linux, you can enable processor affinity by commenting out the line `NO_AFFINITY=1` in | ||
Makefile.rule. However, note that this may cause | ||
[a conflict with R parallel](https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-hpc/2012-April/001348.html). | ||
* On Loongson 3A, `make test` may fail with a `pthread_create` error (`EAGAIN`). | ||
However, it will be okay when you run the same test case on the shell. | ||
