Barely familiar with powershell and looking for a guide. Is anyone aware of a step by step guide for ATLAS installation on Windows 10?

blueberry20:02:16

There is. Please read the getting started guide about how to find (and where) pre-compiled ATLAS for windows. If you already have the libatlas.dll, the ONLY thing to do is to put it somewhere in the PATH, either by putting it in a directory that is already on the path (windows\system or something like this, I forgot the exact name) or to edit the path through environment variables.

blueberry20:02:22

The next version won't require that. I switched neanderthal to Intel's MKL, which is free to use and redistribute (but not open source).

blueberry20:02:38

MKL has pre-compiled binaries for all major systems that run intel on intel's chips (including amd's chips) so I guess it would be much easier for users who are more comfortable with installers on windows.

blueberry20:02:54

@aaelony see my previous messages

aaelony21:02:39

Thanks for that. An installer of some kind would be nice. Mostly though I need to get more familiar with win 10

blueberry21:02:43

Yesterday I installed MKL on Win 10 to build neanderthal-native for Windows, and it was typical 20 click next-next-next. Typical windows hassle, but works.

blueberry21:02:51

A bonus is that MKL is unbelievably fast. Roughly twice as fast as ATLAS on my machine for parallel execution.

aaelony21:02:16

will look into it. Also, to run bayadera i had to lein localrepo the commons jar manually just fyi

blueberry21:02:18

yes, I know. I will update bayadera to run with newest neanderthal and releasse commons after I get back from Berlin. The problem is that I had to write lots of documentation and tutorials before that release...

blueberry21:02:51

So, it runs without issues on your setup?

aaelony21:02:42

Well, I need to install atlas first ;) but other than a lot of warnings so far so good

aaelony21:02:35

noticed you used quil in your test examples, eager to see that run in a gorilla notebook

blueberry21:02:47

these warnings should not be from bayadera, but from the testing libraries.

aaelony21:02:14

once i get atlas running i think it will be great

blueberry21:02:17

I just used quil for defsketch. the plots are in processing

blueberry21:02:55

you have a up-market AMD GPU that supports OpenCL 2.0?

aaelony21:02:25

have a titan x and win10

blueberry21:02:57

Not supported yet since Nvidia only supports OpenCL 1.2

blueberry21:02:20

But, don't despair 🙂

blueberry21:02:30

I have a new GTX 1080

blueberry21:02:40

So, I'll create ClojureCUDA

aaelony21:02:44

heheh, awesome

blueberry21:02:50

and CUDA backend for Neanderthal

blueberry21:02:18

and then I'll decide whether I'll support Nvidia through CUDA or OpenCL 1.2 in Bayadera

blueberry21:02:26

Probably CUDA, but it remains to be seen

blueberry21:02:40

Neanderthal works on Nvidia

blueberry21:02:01

And should run really fast on your card I suppose

blueberry21:02:38

Because it reaches 5.5 TFLOPS on mine, if I remember well

aaelony21:02:47

for sure, it's a beast

blueberry21:02:06

So, for Bayadera, you'll have to wait, but Neanderthal already works smoothly

aaelony21:02:40

once I have things set, I lmk what I can test

aaelony21:02:34

benchmark etc

blueberry21:02:49

cool. please share when you do. For the reference, the mm! example from opencl tutorial (see tests) runs in 220ms on GTX 1080 (8192x8192 matrices)

aaelony21:02:34

will try it out
