# ROCm Compute Profiler
## General
ROCm Compute Profiler is a system performance profiling tool for machine
learning/HPC workloads running on AMD MI GPUs. The tool presently
targets usage on MI100, MI200, and MI300 accelerators.
* For more information on available features, installation steps, and
workload profiling and analysis, please refer to the online
[documentation](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/rocprofiler-compute/en/latest/).
* ROCm Compute Profiler is an AMD open source research project and is not supported
as part of the ROCm software stack. We welcome contributions and
feedback from the community. Please see the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) file for additional details on our
contribution process.
* Licensing information can be found in the [LICENSE](LICENSE.md) file.
## Development
ROCm Compute Profiler follows a
[main-dev](https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/)
branching model. As a result, our latest stable release is shipped
from the `amd-mainline` branch, while new features are developed in our
`develop` branch.
Users may checkout `amd-staging` to preview upcoming features.
## Testing
Populate the empty variables in `Dockerfile.customrocmtest` based on latest CI build information.
To quickly get the environment (bash shell) for building and testing, run the following commands:
* `cd docker`
* `docker compose -f docker-compose.customrocmtest.yml up --force-recreate -d && docker attach docker-customrocmtest-1`
Inside the docker container, clean, build and install the project with tests enabled:
```
rm -rf build install && cmake -B build -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install -D ENABLE_TESTS=ON -D INSTALL_TESTS=ON -DENABLE_COVERAGE=ON -S . && cmake --build build --target install --parallel 8
```
Note that per the above command, build assets will be stored under `build` directory and installed assets will be stored under `install` directory.
Then, to run the automated test suite, run the following command:
```
ctest
```
For manual testing, you can find the executable at `install/bin/rocprof-compute`
NOTE: This Dockerfile uses `ubuntu 22.04` as the base operating system image
## Standalone binary
To create a standalone binary, run the following commands:
* `cd docker`
* `docker compose -f docker-compose.standalone.yml build`
* `docker compose -f docker-compose.standalone.yml up --force-recreate -d && docker attach docker-standalone-1`
You should find the rocprof-compute.bin standalone binary inside the `build` folder in the root directory of the project.
To build the binary we follow these steps:
* Use RHEL 8.10 docker image as the base image
* Install python3.9
* Install runtime dependencies
* Install dependencies for building standalone binary
* Call the make target which uses Nuitka to build the standalone binary
NOTE: Since RHEL 8 ships with glibc version 2.28, this standalone binary can only be run on environment with glibc version greater than 2.28.
glibc version can be checked using `ldd --version` command.
NOTE: libnss3.so shared library is required when using --roof-only option which generates roofline data in PDF format
To test the standalone binary provide the `--call-binary` option to pytest.
