Build MIGraphX Source in ROCm3.3

Build MIGraphX source in ROCm3.3 is very similar as that in ROCm3.7 as described in the MIGraphX repository webpage. The only difference is that the compiler in ROCm3.3 is hcc rather than the clang++ in ROCm3.7 or later releases.

Use cmake to build MIGraphX source

The dependencies required to build MIGraphX source are the same and listed here. They can be downloaded and installed one by one manually or throught a script install_prereqs_rocm3.3.sh. To install them one by one manually, you can refer to the corresponding websites for the build and installation instructions. To use the script to install them, you can download this script install_prereqs_rocm3.3.sh and copy it to the location as $migraphx_dir/tools/install_prereqs_rocm3.3.sh, then run the command ./tools/install_prereqs_rocm3.3.sh.

By default, all dependencies are installed at the default location /usr/local and are accessible by all users. For the default location, sudo is required to run the script. You can also specify a location at which the dependencies are installed using the command ./tools/install_prereqs_rocm3.3.sh $your_loc.)

With the dependencies installed successfully, MIGraphX source code can be built as:

1. Go to the preject folder and create a build directory:

mkdir build
cd build

2. Configure the cmake. If the dependencies are installed at the default location /usr/local, the command is:

CXX=/opt/rocm/bin/hcc cmake ..

Otherwise, you need to set -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$your_loc to configure the cmake as:

CXX=/opt/rocm/bin/hcc cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$your_loc ..

3. Build MIGraphX source code

make -j$(nproc)

Correctness can be verified as:

make -j$(nproc) check

MIGraphX libs can be installed as:

make install

Note that the only different from building the source in ROCm3.7 is that the compiler is hcc here.

Use the ROCm build tool rbuild.

In this approach, we need to install the rbuild first, then use it to build MIGraphX. rbuild can be installed as (sudo may be needed.):

pip3 install https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/rbuild/archive/master.tar.gz

and pip3 can be installed as sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y python3-pip. We also need to install rocm-cmake as sudo apt install -y rocm-cmake.

Then MIGraphX can be built as:

rbuild build -d depend -B build --cxx=/opt/rocm/bin/hcc

Again, the difference is the compiler used here.

Build use the docker file.

We provide a docker file hcc.docker to build a docker container that includes all the dependencies. You can download this docker file to the project folder, use the following commands to build and create a container.

docker build -t migraphx:rocm3.3 -f hcc.docker .

Then to enter the developement environment use docker run:

docker run --device='/dev/kfd' --device='/dev/dri' -v=`pwd`:/code/AMDMIGraphX -w /code/AMDMIGraphX --group-add video -it migraphx:rocm3.3

In the docker container, all the required dependencies are already installed, so users can just go to the folder /code/AMDMIGraphX and follow the steps in the above Use cmake to build MIGraphX section to build MIGraphX source.
