rocRAND Python Wrapper

Requirements

• rocRAND
• Python 2.7 or 3.5
• pip (only for installing)
• NumPy (will be installed automatically as a dependency if necessary)

If rocRAND is built from sources but not installed or installed in non-standard directory set ROCRAND_PATH environment variable, for example:

export ROCRAND_PATH=~/rocRAND/build/library/

Installing

cd python/rocrand
pip install .

Run tests:

python tests/rocrand_test.py

It is also possible to test the wrapper without installing:

python setup.py test

Run examples:

python examples/pi.py

Creating a source distribution

cd python/rocrand
python setup.py sdist

The package rocrand-<version>.tar.gz will be placed into dist/. It can be installed later using this command:

pip install rocrand-<version>.tar.gz

Building documentation

Install Sphinx (http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/index.html):

pip install Sphinx

Run:

cd python/rocrand
python setup.py build_sphinx

The documentation will be placed into docs/build/html.

Note: Sphinx requires that the module is properly loaded to generate documentation from sources. Consider to install rocRAND first or set ROCRAND_PATH if you see error messages like "ImportError: librocrand.so cannot be loaded..."
