Building from Source

The following instructions are for users wishing to build cuGraph from source code. These instructions are tested on supported distributions of Linux, CUDA, and Python - See RAPIDS Getting Started for list of supported environments. Other operating systems might be compatible, but are not currently tested.

The cuGraph package include both a C/C++ CUDA portion and a python portion. Both libraries need to be installed in order for cuGraph to operate correctly.

Prerequisites

Compiler:

  • gcc version 5.4+
  • nvcc version 10.0+
  • cmake version 3.18+

CUDA:

  • CUDA 10.1+
  • NVIDIA driver 396.44+
  • Pascal architecture or better

Other

  • git

You can obtain CUDA from https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads.

Building cuGraph

To install cuGraph from source, ensure the dependencies are met.

Clone Repo and Configure Conda Environment

GIT clone a version of the repository

# Set the localtion to cuGraph in an environment variable CUGRAPH_HOME
export CUGRAPH_HOME=$(pwd)/cugraph

# Download the cuGraph repo - if you have a folked version, use that path here instead
git clone https://github.com/rapidsai/cugraph.git $CUGRAPH_HOME

cd $CUGRAPH_HOME

Create the conda development environment

# create the conda environment (assuming in base `cugraph` directory)



# for CUDA 10.1
conda env create --name cugraph_dev --file conda/environments/cugraph_dev_cuda10.1.yml

# for CUDA 10.2
conda env create --name cugraph_dev --file conda/environments/cugraph_dev_cuda10.2.yml

# for CUDA 11
conda env create --name cugraph_dev --file conda/environments/cugraph_dev_cuda11.0.yml

# activate the environment
conda activate cugraph_dev

# to deactivate an environment
conda deactivate
  • The environment can be updated as development includes/changes the dependencies. To do so, run:
# for CUDA 10.1
conda env update --name cugraph_dev --file conda/environments/cugraph_dev_cuda10.1.yml

# for CUDA 10.2
conda env update --name cugraph_dev --file conda/environments/cugraph_dev_cuda10.2.yml

# for CUDA 11
conda env update --name cugraph_dev --file conda/environments/cugraph_dev_cuda11.0.yml

conda activate cugraph_dev

Build and Install Using the build.sh Script

Using the build.sh script make compiling and installig cuGraph a breeze. To build and install, simply do:

$ cd $CUGRAPH_HOME
$ ./build.sh clean
$ ./build.sh libcugraph
$ ./build.sh cugraph

There are several other options available on the build script for advanced users. build.sh options:

build.sh [<target> ...] [<flag> ...]
 where <target> is:
    clean            - remove all existing build artifacts and configuration (start over)
    libcugraph       - build the cugraph C++ code
    cugraph          - build the cugraph Python package
    docs             - build the docs
 and <flag> is:
   -v               - verbose build mode
   -g               - build for debug
   -n               - no install step
   --allgpuarch     - build for all supported GPU architectures
   --show_depr_warn - show cmake deprecation warnings
   -h               - print this text

 default action (no args) is to build and install 'libcugraph' then 'cugraph' then 'docs' targets

examples:
$ ./build.sh clean                        # remove prior build artifacts (start over)
$ ./build.sh libcugraph -v                # compile and install libcugraph with verbose output
$ ./build.sh libcugraph -g                # compile and install libcugraph for debug
$ ./build.sh libcugraph -n                # compile libcugraph but do not install

# make parallelism options can also be defined: Example build jobs using 4 threads (make -j4)
$ PARALLEL_LEVEL=4 ./build.sh libcugraph

Note that the libraries will be installed to the location set in `$PREFIX` if set (i.e. `export PREFIX=/install/path`), otherwise to `$CONDA_PREFIX`.

Building each section independently

Build and Install the C++/CUDA libcugraph Library

CMake depends on the nvcc executable being on your path or defined in $CUDACXX.

This project uses cmake for building the C/C++ library. To configure cmake, run:

# Set the localtion to cuGraph in an environment variable CUGRAPH_HOME
export CUGRAPH_HOME=$(pwd)/cugraph

cd $CUGRAPH_HOME
cd cpp                                        # enter cpp directory
mkdir build                                   # create build directory
cd build                                      # enter the build directory
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$CONDA_PREFIX

# now build the code
make -j                                       # "-j" starts multiple threads
make install                                  # install the libraries

The default installation locations are $CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/lib and $CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/include/cugraph respectively.

Building and installing the Python package

  1. Install the Python package to your Python path:
cd $CUGRAPH_HOME
cd python
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
python setup.py install    # install cugraph python bindings

Run tests

Run either the C++ or the Python tests with datasets

  • Python tests with datasets

    cd $CUGRAPH_HOME
cd python
pytest

  • C++ stand alone tests

    From the build directory :

    # Run the cugraph tests
cd $CUGRAPH_HOME
cd cpp/build
gtests/GDFGRAPH_TEST		# this is an executable file

  • C++ tests with larger datasets

    If you already have the datasets:

    export RAPIDS_DATASET_ROOT_DIR=<path_to_ccp_test_and_reference_data>

    If you do not have the datasets:

    cd $CUGRAPH_HOME/datasets
source get_test_data.sh #This takes about 10 minutes and downloads 1GB data (>5 GB uncompressed)

    Run the C++ tests on large input:

    cd $CUGRAPH_HOME/cpp/build
#test one particular analytics (eg. pagerank)
gtests/PAGERANK_TEST
#test everything
make test

Note: This conda installation only applies to Linux and Python versions 3.7/3.8.

Building and Testing on a gpuCI image locally

You can do a local build and test on your machine that mimics our gpuCI environment using the ci/local/build.sh script. For detailed information on usage of this script, see here.

(OPTIONAL) Set environment variable on activation

It is possible to configure the conda environment to set environmental variables on activation. Providing instructions to set PATH to include the CUDA toolkit bin directory and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the CUDA lib64 directory will be helpful.

cd  ~/anaconda3/envs/cugraph_dev

mkdir -p ./etc/conda/activate.d
mkdir -p ./etc/conda/deactivate.d
touch ./etc/conda/activate.d/env_vars.sh
touch ./etc/conda/deactivate.d/env_vars.sh

Next the env_vars.sh file needs to be edited

vi ./etc/conda/activate.d/env_vars.sh

#!/bin/bash
export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-10.1/bin:$PATH # or cuda-10.2 if using CUDA 10.2
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-10.1/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH # or cuda-10.2 if using CUDA 10.2
vi ./etc/conda/deactivate.d/env_vars.sh

#!/bin/bash
unset PATH
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Creating documentation

Python API documentation can be generated from docs directory.
