Using ROCm SMI with C++
***********************
Installation
============
Follow the installation procedure for rocm_smi_lib. Refer to the :doc:`installation section <../install/install>`.
.. note::
``hipcc`` and other compilers will not automatically link in the ``librocm_smi64`` dynamic library. To ensure the
``librocm_smi64.so`` can be located, you must either set the ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH`` environment variable to the
directory containing ``librocm_smi64.so`` (usually ``/opt/rocm/lib``) or pass the ``-lrocm_smi64`` flag to the compiler.
Device indices
==============
Many of the functions in the library take a "device index". The device index is a number greater than or equal to 0, and less than the number of devices detected, as determined by `rsmi_num_monitor_devices()`. The index is used to distinguish the detected devices from one another. It is important to note that a device may end up with a different index after a reboot, so an index should not be relied upon to be constant over reboots.
Hello ROCm SMI
================
The only required ROCm-SMI call for any program that wants to use ROCm-SMI is the ``rsmi_init()`` call. This call initializes some internal data structures that will be used by subsequent ROCm-SMI calls.
When ROCm-SMI is no longer being used, ``rsmi_shut_down()`` should be called. This provides a way to do any releasing of resources that ROCm-SMI may have held. In many cases, this may have no effect, but may be necessary in future versions of the library.
A simple "Hello World" type program that displays the device ID of detected devices would look like this:
.. code-block:: c
#include <stdint.h>
#include "rocm_smi/rocm_smi.h"
int main() {
rsmi_status_t ret;
uint32_t num_devices;
uint16_t dev_id;
// We will skip return code checks for this example, but it
// is recommended to always check this as some calls may not
// apply for some devices or ROCm releases
ret = rsmi_init(0);
ret = rsmi_num_monitor_devices(&num_devices);
for (int i=0; i < num_devices; ++i) {
ret = rsmi_dev_id_get(i, &dev_id);
// dev_id holds the device ID of device i, upon a
// successful call
}
ret = rsmi_shut_down();
return 0;
}
