Overview / Usage

Purpose

The vector-multiplication is a simple program that multiplies Three large vectors of integers and verifies the results. This program is implemented using C and Data Parallel C (DPC++) languages for Intel(R) CPU and accelerators.

In this example, you can learn how to use the most basic code in C language that offloads computations to a GPU or an FPGA using the DPC language.

Key Implementation Details

The basic DPC++ implementation explained in the code includes device selector, buffer, accessor, kernel, and command groups.

Methodology / Approach

Building the **vector-multiplication** Program for CPU and GPU On a Linux* System

Perform the following steps:

  1. Build the vector-add program using:
    make all
  2. Run the program using:
    make run
  3. Clean the program using:
    make clean
On a Windows* System Using a Command Line Interface
  1. Select Programs > Intel oneAPI 2021 > Intel oneAPI Command Prompt to launch a command window.
  2. Build the program using the following nmake commands:nmake -f Makefile.win clean nmake -f Makefile.win nmake -f Makefile.win run
On a Windows* System Using Visual Studio* Version 2017 or Newer

Perform the following steps:

  1. Launch the Visual Studio* 2017.
  2. Select the menu sequence File > Open > Project/Solution.
  3. Locate the vector-add folder.
  4. Select the vector-add.sln file.
  5. Select the configuration 'Debug' or 'Release'
  6. Select Project > Build menu option to build the selected configuration.
  7. Select Debug > Start Without Debugging menu option to run the program.
Building the **vector-add** Program for Intel(R) FPGA On a Linux* System

Perform the following steps:

  1. Clean the vector-add program using:
    make clean -f Makefile.fpga

  2. Based on your requirements, you can perform the following:

    • Build and run for FPGA emulation using the following commands:

    • make fpga\_emu -f Makefile.fpga make run\_emu -f Makefile.fpga

    • Build and run for FPGA hardware.
      NOTE: The hardware compilation takes a long time to complete.

    • make hw -f Makefile.fpga make run\_hw -f Makefile.fpga

    • Generate static optimization reports for design analysis. Path to the reports is vector-add\_report.prj/reports/report.html

    • make report -f Makefile.fpga

On a Windows* System Using a Command Line Interface

Perform the following steps:

NOTE: On a Windows* system, you can only compile and run on the FPGA emulator. Generating an HTML optimization report and compiling and running on the FPGA hardware are not currently supported.

  1. Select Programs > Intel oneAPI 2021 > Intel oneAPI Command Prompt to launch a command window.
  2. Build the program using the following nmake commands:nmake -f Makefile.win.fpga clean nmake -f Makefile.win.fpga nmake -f Makefile.win.fpga run
On a Windows* System Using Visual Studio* Version 2017 or Newer

Perform the following steps:

  1. Launch the Visual Studio* 2017.
  2. Select the menu sequence File > Open > Project/Solution.
  3. Locate the vector-add folder.
  4. Select the vector-add.sln file.
  5. Select the configuration 'Debug-fpga' or 'Release-fpga' that have the necessary project settings already below:
    Under the 'Project Property' dialog:
    a. Select the DPC++ tab. b. In the General subtab, the Perform ahead of time compilation for the FPGA setting is set to Yes. c. In the Preprocessor subtab, the **Preprocessor Definitions" setting has FPGA_EMULATOR added. d. Close the dialog.
  6. Select Project > Build menu option to build the selected configuration.
  7. Select Debug > Start Without Debugging menu option to run the program. Don't go by the name Vector add its actually Vector Multiplication
