Installation instructions

The installation process uses the following steps:

• ROCm-supported hardware install verification

• Install ROCm 6.1.0 or later with amdgpu-install with --usecase=rocm

Important

Use either package install or source install as described below.

Package install

Install RPP runtime, development, and test packages.

• Runtime package - rpp only provides the rpp library librpp.so
• Development package - rpp-dev/rpp-devel provides the library, header files, and samples
• Test package - rpp-test provides CTest to verify installation

Note

Package install will auto install all dependencies.

Ubuntu

sudo apt install rpp rpp-dev rpp-test

RHEL

sudo yum install rpp rpp-devel rpp-test

SLES

sudo zypper install rpp rpp-devel rpp-test

Source build and install

• Clone RPP git repository

  git clone https://github.com/ROCm/rpp.git

Note

RPP has support for two GPU backends: OPENCL and HIP:

HIP Backend

mkdir build-hip
cd build-hip
cmake ../rpp
make -j8
sudo make install

• Run tests - test option instructions

make test

Important

make test requires test suite prerequisites installed

OCL Backend

mkdir build-ocl
cd build-ocl
cmake -DBACKEND=OCL ../rpp
make -j8
sudo make install

Verify installation

The installer will copy

• Libraries into /opt/rocm/lib
• Header files into /opt/rocm/include/rpp
• Samples, and test folder into /opt/rocm/share/rpp
• Documents folder into /opt/rocm/share/doc/rpp

Verify with rpp-test package

Test package will install CTest module to test rpp. Follow below steps to test package install

mkdir rpp-test && cd rpp-test
cmake /opt/rocm/share/rpp/test/
ctest -VV

Important

Test suite prerequisites are required to run tests

Test Functionalities

To test latest Image/Voxel/Audio/Miscellaneous functionalities of RPP using a python script please view AMD ROCm Performance Primitives (RPP) Test Suite

MIVisionX support - OpenVX extension

MIVisionX RPP extension vx_rpp supports RPP functionality through the OpenVX Framework.
