This coursera-heterogeneous project provides offline resources to work on the assignments of Heterogenous Parallel Programming course from Coursera. This is a collaborative effort by the students of the course and you are welcome to contribute to improve it.
Files available include:
- WB API header file (
wb.h) - Generate data to test assignments (
GenDataMP1.cpp,GenDataMP2.cpp, ...) - Assignment files (
mp0.cu,mp1.cu, ...)
All of this works only if you have access to CUDA hardware.
- Update NVIDIA driver for your CUDA hardware
- Download and install Visual Studio or Visual C++ Express Edition
- Download and install the NVIDIA CUDA toolkit
- Create a CUDA project in Visual Studio
- Place this
wb.hheader in same directory as your CUDA source file (mp1.cufor example) - Compile and run!
Make sure you have XCode (and/or the Command Line Tools) and Cmake installed.
You can get cmake from macports via: sudo port install cmake or homebrew via: brew install cmake
- If you wish to use Xcode as your IDE, download and install the latest version from the Mac App Store
- Download and install the Command Line Tools from Apple's developer website or, if you are using Xcode, via the Downloads tab in Xcode's Preferences
- Download and install the NVIDIA CUDA toolkit
- Install cmake from either macports (
sudo port install cmake) or homebrew (brew install cmake) - Clone the coursera-heterogenous repository
- At this point, you can use either Xcode or the traditional Unix command line
Initial setup:
- Though Xcode can build and run CUDA projects, it does not integrate NVIDIA's cuda-gdb debugger into the IDE. OpenCL projects, in contrast, have complete integration with Xcode
- If you haven't done so already, you need to install the Command Line Tools so that the UNIX development environment is exposed to NVIDIA's CUDA compiler
nvcc - From the repository's root directory type:
cmake CMakeLists.txt -G Xcode - Open the resulting Project.xcodeproj
To run each assignment:
- You will need to edit each assignment's Scheme through the Product, Edit Scheme menu
- Select the Run build action settings and, under the Arguments tab, enter the arguments that will be passed to the program when it launches
- Make sure that, for each dataset file, you enter that file's absolute path
- Compile and run!
Initial setup:
- From the repository's root directory type:
cmake CMakeLists.txt
To run each assignment:
- To compile an assignment, type
make mp<N>, where<N>is the assignment's number - For example, to compile the MP2 assignment type
make mp2 - To run an assignment, type
./mp<N> tests/mp<N>_data/<D>/*, where<N>is a homework number and<D>is a dataset number - For example, to execute assignment MP2 on dataset 0 type
./mp3 tests/mp3_data/0/*
You can also test each homework (mp) against the official datasets
using the command ctest (part of cmake):
- To run all the
mpsagainst the official datasets:ctest. - To run a specific mp, for example MP2, run
ctest -L mp2
The details of the execution of the tests can be found in the folder
Testing/Temporary/LastTest.log. Or can be viewed adding the -V or
-VV for extra verbose information, i.e. ctest -L mp2 -V.
