Re: [eigen] Running CTest with MKL Enabled

[Gael Guennebaud <gael.guennebaud@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

you can configure a build directory as follow:

export CC=path/to/icc

export CXX=path/to/icpc

cmake path/to/eigen -DEIGEN_TEST_CUSTOM_CXX_FLAGS="-mkl=sequential -DEIGEN_USE_MKL_ALL" -DEIGEN_TEST_CUSTOM_LINKER_FLAGS="-mkl=sequential" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DEIGEN_TEST_BUILD_FLAGS=-j4

The last option enable parallel builds. Feel free to remove or adjust it to your needs.

Then you can run from a cron job:

$ cd path/to/eigen && hg up

$ cd path/to/build && ctest -D Nightly

cheers,

Gael.

Hello All,

In Bug 923[1] Christoph Hertzberg suggested that it would be useful
for me to periodically run the Eigen test suite with MKL enabled.  I
would appreciate some advice about how to do that (and thought it
would be better to discuss here than in the bug report).

It looks like I could pass -DEIGEN_USE_MKL_ALL along with the
necessary system-specific compiler/linker options in the
EIGEN_TEST_CUSTOM_CXX_FLAGS and EIGEN_TEST_CUSTOM_LINKER_FLAGS options
when invoking CMake.  Is that the correct/recommended procedure?  Will
it report the test results on CDash in a way that will make them
useful?

My apologies if this is documented somewhere that I've overlooked.

Thanks,
Kevin
