Build applications with oneDAL#

This section contains instructions for building applications with oneDAL for SYCL*.

Applications on Linux* OS#

  1. Install oneDAL.

  2. Set environment variables by calling <install dir>/setvars.sh.

  3. Build the application using icpx (Linux* OS) and icx-cl (Windows* OS) commands:

    • Add oneDAL includes folder:

      -I<install dir>/dal/latest/include
      
    • Add oneDAL libraries. Choose the appropriate oneDAL libraries based on oneDAL linking method:

      oneDAL libraries for Linux#

      Static linking

      libonedal_core.a,
      libonedal_dpc.a,
      libonedal_parameters.a,
      libonedal_parameters_dpc.a,
      libonedal_thread.a

      Dynamic linking

      libonedal_core.so,
      libonedal_dpc.so,
      libonedal_parameters.so,
      libonedal_parameters_dpc.so,
      libonedal_thread.so
    • Add an additional oneDAL library:

      <install dir>/dal/latest/lib/libonedal_sycl.a
      

Applications on Windows* OS#

  1. Install oneDAL.

  2. In Microsoft Visual Studio* Integrated Development Environment (IDE), open or create a C++ project for your oneDAL application to build.

  3. In project properties:

    • Set Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler platform toolset:

      In General configuration properties, choose Platform Toolset property
    • Add oneDAL includes folder to Additional Include Directories.

    • Add folders with oneDAL and oneTBB libraries to Library Directories:

      In VC++ Directories, choose Library Directories property
    • Add oneDAL and OpenCL libraries to Additional Dependencies:

      In Linker configuration properties, choose Input.
  4. Add the appropriate libraries to your project based on oneDAL linking method:

    oneDAL libraries for Windows#

    Static linking

    onedal_core.lib,
    onedal_core.lib,
    onedal_thread.lib

    Dynamic linking

    onedal_core_dll.lib
    onedal_core_dll.lib

    You may also add debug versions of the libraries based on the threading mode and linking method:

    oneDAL debug libraries for Windows#

    Static linking

    onedal_cored.lib,
    onedald.lib,
    onedal_dpcd.lib,
    onedal_sycld.lib,
    onedal_cored.lib,
    onedald.lib,
    onedal_dpcd.lib,
    onedal_sycld.lib,
    onedal_threadd.lib

    Dynamic linking

    onedal_cored_dll.lib (onedal_cored_dll.2.lib),
    onedald_dll.lib (onedald_dll.2.lib),
    onedal_dpcd_dll.lib (onedal_dpcd_dll.2.lib),
    onedald.2.dll,
    onedal_cored.2.dll,
    onedal_dpcd.2.dll,
    onedal_cored_dll.lib (onedal_cored_dll.2.lib),
    onedald_dll.lib (onedald_dll.2.lib),
    onedal_dpcd_dll.lib (onedal_dpcd_dll.2.lib),
    onedald.2.dll,
    onedal_cored.2.dll,
    onedal_dpcd.2.dll,
    onedal_threadd.2.dll

Examples#

Dynamic linking oneDAL with the GPU target:

  • Linux* OS:

    icpx -fsycl my_first_dal_program.cpp -Wl,
    --start-group -L<install dir>/dal/latest/lib -lonedal_core -lonedal_dpc -lonedal_parameters_dpc -lonedal_thread -lpthread -ldl -lOpenCL -L<install dir>/tbb/latest/lib/ -ltbb -ltbbmalloc <install dir>/dal/latest/lib/libonedal_sycl.a -Wl,--end-group
    
  • Windows* OS:

    icx-cl -fsycl my_first_dal_program.cpp -Wl,
    --start-group -L<install dir>/dal/latest/lib/ -lonedal_core -lonedal_dpc -lonedal_thread -lpthread -ldl -lOpenCL -L<install dir>/tbb/latest/lib/ -ltbb -ltbbmalloc <install dir>/dal/latest/lib/libonedal_sycl.a -Wl,--end-group
