Getting Started
Follow the instructions based on your deployment method.
1.
Host Setup
The Xilinx Runtime (XRT) host application is supported on Ubuntu 16.04 /18.04 and CentOS 7.x. A minimum of 64GB RAM is required to run this application successfully.
With sudo access, use the following command to download and run the setup script:
1.1 Clone GitHub Repository for Xilinx Base Runtime
git clone https://github.com/Xilinx/Xilinx_Base_Runtime.git
cd Xilinx_Base_Runtime
1.2 Run the Host Setup Script
./host_setup.sh -v 2020.1 -p alveo-u200
Note:
- Please wait for the installation to complete. During this time, you may need press [Y] to continue the host setup.
- If you choose to flash the FPGA, you will need to cold reboot the local machine after the installation is completed to load the new image on the FPGA.
- The script for host setup can be used to setup other versions XRT and shell. Please check https://github.com/Xilinx/Xilinx_Base_Runtime for more details.
2.
Install Docker (If not installed already)
With sudo access, use the following command to run the utility script to install docker.
2.1 Go to Xilinx_Base_Runtime utilities directory
cd Xilinx_Base_Runtime/utilities
2.2 Pull the Docker Image
./docker_install.sh
3.
Application Execution
Enter the following commands in a terminal window to run the application:
3.1 Setup Environment Variables by script from Xilinx_Base_Runtime
source Xilinx_Base_Runtime/utilities/xilinx_docker_setup.sh
3.2 Run the Docker Image
docker pull xilinx/xilinx_sorting:u200_2020.1_v1.0
3.3 Run the Docker Image
docker run -it $XILINX_DOCKER_DEVICES --shm-size=64G xilinx/xilinx_sorting:u200_2020.1_v1.0
Description of command arguments:
$XILINX_DOCKER_DEVICES- Variables set by the host setup script
3.4 Run Sorting Demo
/opt/xilinx/apps/vt_database/sort/bin/vt_database_sort.exe --demo --accept-EULA
or generate new data and test
/opt/xilinx/apps/vt_database/sort/bin/gendata.exe -ss 32 -out /home/nimbix/demo_data && /opt/xilinx/apps/vt_database/sort/bin/vt_database_sort.exe -i /home/nimbix/demo_data/input_32M_0.dat -o /home/nimbix/demo_data/output_32M_0.dat --accept-EULA
4.
Results
When your job is complete, the application stores the output in the output directory (in demo mode, output directory is /home/nimbix/demo_data), and prints validate results.
