Installation¶

Getting LLAMA¶

The most recent version of LLAMA can be found at GitHub.

git clone https://github.com/alpaka-group/llama
cd llama

All examples use CMake and the library itself provides a llama-config.cmake to be found by CMake. Although LLAMA is a header-only library, it provides installation capabilities via CMake.

Dependencies¶

LLAMA library¶

At its core, using the LLAMA library requires:

cmake 3.18.3 or higher
Boost 1.74.0 or higher
libfmt 6.2.1 or higher (optional) for support to dump mappings as SVG/HTML

Tests¶

Building the unit tests additionally requires:

Catch2 3.0.1 or higher

Examples¶

To build all examples of LLAMA, the following additional libraries are needed:

libfmt 6.2.1 or higher
Alpaka 0.9.0 or higher
xsimd 9.0.1 or higher
ROOT
tinyobjloader 2.0.0-rc9 or higher

Build tests and examples¶

As LLAMA is using CMake the tests and examples can be easily built with:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DBUILD_TESTING=ON -DLLAMA_BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON
ccmake .. // optionally change configuration after first run of cmake
cmake --build .

This will search for all dependencies and create a build system for your platform. If necessary dependencies are not found, the corresponding examples will be disabled. After the initial call to cmake, ccmake can be used to add search paths for missing libraries and to deactivate building tests and examples.

Install LLAMA¶

To install LLAMA on your system, you can run (with privileges):

cmake --install .
