Installation and Setup#
Prequesites#
To use pystencils-sfg, you will need at least Python 3.10. You will also need the appropriate compilers for building the generated code, such as
a modern C++ compiler (e.g. GCC, clang)
nvcc
for CUDA orhipcc
for HIPIntel OneAPI or AdaptiveCpp for SYCL
Furthermore, an installation of clang-format for automatic code formatting is strongly recommended.
Install the Latest Development Revision#
As pystencils-sfg is still unreleased, it can at this time only be obtained directly from its Git repository.
Create a fresh virtual environment or activate an existing one. Install both the pystencils 2.0 and pystencils-sfg development revisions from Git:
pip install "git+https://i10git.cs.fau.de/pycodegen/pystencils.git@v2.0-dev"
pip install "git+https://i10git.cs.fau.de/pycodegen/pystencils-sfg.git"
Caution
pystencils-sfg is not compatible with the pystencils 1.3.x releases available from PyPI; at the moment, you will still have to manually install the latest version of pystencils 2.0.
Check your Installation#
To verify that the SFG was successfully installed, execute the following command:
sfg-cli version
You should see an output like 0.1a4+...
.
