Mini-Caffe-SYCL

Mini Caffe framework with SYCL backend

Dependencies

The SYCL backend of Mini Caffe has similar dependencies as CUDA version of Mini Caffe which can be found here: https://github.com/luoyetx/mini-caffe#build-on-linux.

Also, note that there's also an optional dependency on OpenCV for building the examples of the project.

Running on Intel platforms

For running the SYCL backend on Intel platform, Makefile.dpct should be used to build the project. And below dependencies need to be fullfilled -

• oneAPI Base-toolkit should be installed

Running on Nvidia platform

For running the SYCL backend on Nvidia platform, Makefile_cuda.dpct should be used to build the project. And below dependencies need to be fullfilled -

• To generate the PTX from SYCL backend, the Makefile should be used with Intel LLVM compiler built with CUDA backend - https://github.com/intel/llvm/blob/sycl/sycl/doc/GetStartedGuide.md#build-dpc-toolchain-with-support-for-nvidia-cuda
• In addition to this, the BLAS library used by the backend should also be built for CUDA (Ref: https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneMKL/blob/develop/docs/building_the_project.rst#building-for-cuda)

The Makefile should be updated with appropriate references for "CC", "MKL_HOME" and "OPENCV_ROOT" paths. Note: The PATH for finding IRC library should be updated accordingly when compiling SYCL backend to run on Nvidia platform.
