}Important
Requirements:
- Nvidia CUDA version 12 or greater.
- GNU GCC Compiler version 13 or greater.
- CMake version 3.25.2 or greater.
- Intel Thread Building Blocks
Ubuntu:
sudo apt install make build-essential cmake git libtbb-devNote
Some dependencies will be automatically downloaded if needed:
- GoogleTest: used by our test suite.
- GoogleBenchmark: used by our benchmark suite.
In order to be able to compile the project, one must follow these steps:
git clone --recursive [email protected]:tiicrypto/tii-openfhe.git
cd tii-openfhe
./build.shFIDESlib needs a patched version of OpenFHE in order to be able to access some internals needed for interoperability. This patched version will be automatically installed by the build.sh script
The build process produces the following artifacts:
- fideslib.a: The FIDESlib library to be statically linked to any client application.
- fideslib-test: The test suite executable.
- fideslib-bench: The benchmark suite executable.
- gpu-test: A dummy executable to search for the CUDA capable devices on the machine.
- dummy: Another dummy executable.
Warning
Compiling FIDESlib sometimes produces TLS-related errors. This issue can be addressed by re-compiling OpenFHE in debug mode. In this case, you should:
- Manually clone OpenFHE and, with git, apply openfhe-hook.patch and openfhe-base.patch.
- Generate the build files with CMake using Debug as build type.
- Compile and install OpenFHE on the machine.
The following options can be used with CMake to configure the build. The default value for each option is denoted in boldface under the Values column:
| CMake option | Values | Information |
|---|---|---|
CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES |
naitve | Use this toolchain file to integrate vcpkg with CMake for dependency management. |
BUILD_TESTS |
ON / OFF | Build the tests for verifying the functionality of the project. |
BUILD_BENCHMARKS |
ON / OFF | Build the benchmarks |
Installing the library is as easy as running the following command:
cmake --build $PATH_TO_BUILD_DIR --target install -jFIDESlib is currently ready to be consumed as a CMake library. The template project on the examples directory shows how to build and run a FIDESlib client application and contains examples of usage of most of the functionality provided by FIDESlib. Currently client applications consuming FIDESlib should use the CUDA compiler every time they include a FIDESlib header.
Note
As the default installation prefix is /usr/local. All installed headers should be located under /usr/local/include/FIDESlib, the CMake package files under /usr/local/share/FIDESlib and the compiled library under /usr/local/lib.
Warning
FIDESlib currently does not support custom installation paths. One should run the installation command with administrator priviledges.
Note: all commands are prefixed with sudo, which may be not neccessary, as
docker can be runned rootless. Additionally :W
In order to build the docker image, run the following command:
sudo docker build -t cuda-tests .You can run binaries in the docker image via:
# Run tests
sudo docker run --rm --device=nvidia.com/gpu=all cuda-tests ./build/fideslib-test
# Run benchmarks
sudo docker run --rm --device=nvidia.com/gpu=all cuda-tests ./build/fideslib-benchCheck examples for projects that use FIDESlib.
