Kyle Roarty fc5e23c5c7 util: Add dockerfile for GCN3 w/machine learning
This dockerfile creates an image that installs the software stack needed
to run both machine learning and non-machine learning applications using
the GCN3 gpu model, while also applying patches to the software stack to
optimize machine learning applications, as well as APUs, which is the
current type of GPU in the GCN3 GPU model.

gcn3-gpu dockerfile

This dockerfile contains all the dependences necessary to run GPU applications in gem5 using the gcn3 APU model

Building the image

docker build -t <image_name> .

Building gem5 using the image

The following command assumes the gem5 directory is a subdirectory of your current directory

docker run --rm -v $PWD/gem5:/gem5 -w /gem5 <image_name> scons -sQ -j$(nproc) build/GCN3_X86/gem5.opt

Test gem5 using a prebuilt application

wget http://dist.gem5.org/dist/current/test-progs/hip_sample_bins/MatrixTranspose
docker run --rm -v $PWD/MatrixTranspose:/MatrixTranspose -v $PWD/public_gem5:/gem5 -w /gem5 \
        <image_name> build/GCN3_X86/gem5.opt configs/example/apu_se.py -n2 --benchmark-root=/ -cMatrixTranspose

Notes

  • When using the -v flag, the path to the input file/directory needs to be the absolute path; symlinks don't work
  • Currently linking in an AFS volume is not supported, as it uses ACLs instead of owner/group IDs

ToDo

  • Add square to gem5-resources github, add directions for building and running an application
