Using the oneMKL Interfaces in your project with CMake#
The CMake build tool can help you use oneMKL Interfaces in your own project. Instead of manually linking and including directories, you can use the CMake targets exported by the oneMKL Interfaces project. You can use oneMKL in one of two forms, with the target names depending on the approach taken:
you can use a previously installed copy, either from a binary distribution or built from source. This can be imported using CMake’s
find_package
command. See the section using_from_installed_binary.or you can have CMake automatically download and build oneMKL as part of the build process using CMake’s FetchContent functionality. See the section using_with_fetchcontent.
Using an installed oneMKL Interfaces#
If the oneMKL Interfaces have been previously installed, either by building from
source or as a distributed binary, they can be consumed using CMake using
find_package(oneMKL REQUIRED)
. The compiler used for the target library or
application should match that used to build oneMKL Interfaces.
For example:
find_package(oneMKL REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(myTarget PRIVATE MKL::onemkl)
Different targets can be used depending on the requirements of oneMKL.
To link against the entire library, the MKL::onemkl
target should be used.
For specific domains, MKL::onemkl_<domain>
should be used.
And for specific backends, MKL::onemkl_<domain>_<backend>
should be used.
When using a binary, it may be useful to know the backends that were enabled
during the build. To check for the existence of backends, CMake’s if(TARGET
<target>)
construct can be used. For example, with the cufft
backend:
if(TARGET MKL::onemkl_dft_cufft)
target_link_libraries(myTarget PRIVATE MKL::onemkl_dft_cufft)
else()
message(FATAL_ERROR "oneMKL Interfaces was not built with CuFFT backend")
endif()
Using CMake’s FetchContent#
The FetchContent functionality of CMake can be used to download, build and install oneMKL Interfaces as part of the build.
For example:
include(FetchContent)
set(BUILD_FUNCTIONAL_TESTS False)
set(BUILD_EXAMPLES False)
set(ENABLE_<BACKEND_NAME>_BACKEND True)
FetchContent_Declare(
onemkl_interface_library
GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneMKL.git
GIT_TAG develop
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(onemkl_interface_library)
target_link_libraries(myTarget PRIVATE onemkl)
The build parameters should be appropriately set before
FetchContent_Declare
. See Building the Project with DPC++ or
Building the Project with AdaptiveCpp.
To link against the main library with run-time dispatching, use the target
onemkl
. To link against particular domains, use the target
onemkl_<domain>
. For example, onemkl_blas
or onemkl_dft
. To link
against particular backends (as required for static dispatch of oneAPI calls to
a particular backend), use the target onemkl_<domain>_<backend>
. For
example, onemkl_dft_cufft
.
