Genoo and AOCL

[Skwal]

Good morning

I am very interested in AOCL/AOCC:
https://www.amd.com/en/developer/aocl.html

But the wiki is a few years old.
Would you know how I can set it up instead of LLVL/Clang please?

Maybe the Gentoo Science Project can help?
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Science

The overlay contains
sci-libs/aocl-libm
sci-libs/aocl-sparse

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Science/Overlay
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/sci.git/tree/

The first link has contact information for the Gentoo team.

Hello and thank you for your answer, pip

Indeed, I had already looked in this direction but without knowing what to do with it.
So I'm going to look into it again, and why not, contact the Gentoo Science team.
From what I understand performance is greatly increased with AOCL/AOCC.

Thanks

Sincerely, Swal

You can just dump the compiler in /opt and set CC, CXX, etc to the full paths.

The rest of it is a bit trickier and requires some more work, yeah.

Good evening

A few months ago I tried this technique from the Gentoo wiki:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/AOCC

The "compiler base" was recognized, but it didn't recognize the correct versions.
I tried to adapt the commands from the wiki page, but AOCC moved to version 4.

I'm not very talented, especially resourceful, and I'm afraid of doing stupid things.

But it interests me greatly, I recompiled the system with clang/LLVM (system and kernel) and the difference is simply enormous!

I will get back to it fully in the next two weeks, if the result is convincing I will come back.

Sincerely, Swal

I came across AOCC when searching on the net. What is the status of this within Gentoo now? The WIKI mentions "highly experimental" is this stiil actual?
