AMD Developer Cloud Setup Guide

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for setting up IntelliPerf on the AMD Developer Cloud environment.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have access to an AMD Developer Cloud and create a GPU Droplet.

First, set up the ROCm environment variables:

export ROCM_PATH=/opt/rocm
export PATH=$ROCM_PATH/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ROCM_PATH/lib

Note: You may want to add these to your shell profile (.bashrc, .zshrc, etc.) for persistence across sessions.

Install the required system packages:

# Update package list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y python3-venv cmake  rocm-llvm-dev libzstd-dev libdwarf-dev

Create a Python virtual environment to isolate IntelliPerf dependencies:

# Create virtual environment
python3 -m venv intelliperf_env

# Activate virtual environment
source intelliperf_env/bin/activate

Note: Always activate the virtual environment before working with IntelliPerf.

git clone git@github.com:AMDResearch/intelliperf.git
cd intelliperf

Install IntelliPerf in development mode:

pip install -e .

Install all required tool dependencies:

python3 scripts/install_tool.py --all

Next, you can run the examples! See the Examples README for detailed information about available examples and how to run them.
