Contents of the repo

This repo contains the following:

• API specification in YaML
• API programming guide in RST
• Loader and a null adapter implementation (partially generated)
• Example applications
• API C/C++ header files (generated)
• API Python module (generated)
• Sample C++ wrapper (generated)
• Sample C/C++ import library (generated)

Integration

The recommended way to integrate this project into another is via CMake's FetchContent, for example:

include(FetchContent)

FetchContent_Declare(
    unified-runtime
    GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/oneapi-src/unified-runtime.git
    GIT_TAG main  # This will pull the latest changes from the main branch.
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(unified-runtime)

add_executable(example example.cpp)
target_link_libraries(example PUBLIC unified-runtime::headers)

Weekly tags

Each Friday at 23:00 UTC time a prerelease tag is created which takes the form weekly-YYYY-MM-DD. These tags should be used by downstream projects which intend to track development closely but maintain a fixed point in history to avoid pulling potentially breaking changes from the main branch.

Third-Party tools

Tools can be acquired via instructions in third_party.

Building

Requirements:

• C++ compiler with C++17 support
• CMake >= 3.14.0
• clang-format-15.0 (can be installed with python -m pip install clang-format==15.0.7)

Windows

Generating Visual Studio Project. EXE and binaries will be in build/bin/{build_config}

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake {path_to_source_dir} -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64"

Linux

Executable and binaries will be in build/bin

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake {path_to_source_dir}
$ make

CMake standard options

List of options provided by CMake:

Name	Description	Values	Default
UR_BUILD_TESTS	Build the tests	ON/OFF	ON
UR_BUILD_TOOLS	Build tools	ON/OFF	ON
UR_FORMAT_CPP_STYLE	Format code style	ON/OFF	OFF
UR_DEVELOPER_MODE	Treat warnings as errors and enables additional checks	ON/OFF	OFF
UR_USE_ASAN	Enable AddressSanitizer	ON/OFF	OFF
UR_USE_TSAN	Enable ThreadSanitizer	ON/OFF	OFF
UR_USE_UBSAN	Enable UndefinedBehavior Sanitizer	ON/OFF	OFF
UR_USE_MSAN	Enable MemorySanitizer (clang only)	ON/OFF	OFF
UR_ENABLE_TRACING	Enable XPTI-based tracing layer	ON/OFF	OFF
UR_CONFORMANCE_TARGET_TRIPLES	SYCL triples to build CTS device binaries for	Comma-separated list	spir64

Additional make targets

To run automated code formatting, configure CMake with UR_FORMAT_CPP_STYLE option and then run a custom cppformat target:

$ make cppformat

If you've made modifications to the specification, you can also run a custom generate target prior to building. It will generate the source code and run automated code formatting:

$ make generate

Contributions

For those who intend to make a contribution to the project please read our Contribution Guide for more information.

Adapter naming convention

To maintain consistency and clarity in naming adapter libraries, it is recommended to use the following naming convention:

• On Linux platforms, use libur_adapter_[name].so.
• On Windows platforms, use ur_adapter_[name].dll.

Source code generation

Code is generated using included Python scripts.

Documentation

Documentation is generated from source code using Sphinx - see scripts dir for details.
