Description

Some pain points kept https://github.com/kokkos/kokkos-tutorials/pull/101 from being comprehensive:

  • virtualfunction needs a separate CUDA-enabled Kokkos build with RDC enabled
  • Not all exercises use CMake
  • Not all exercises have the same structure (e.g. no Begin / Solution subdirectories)
  • Some exercises hard-code specific execution spaces (purposefully or otherwise)
  • Some exercises need additional libraries
    • Kokkos Kernels (okay, slow-ish to build)
    • Kokkos remote spaces
  • Some exercises use Kokkos Kernels implementation details (testing utility functions)
  • Some exercises use deprecated interfaces (tasking?)

Research direction

Start by reviewing pull request 101 and the exercise build configurations, especially the virtualfunction exercise and the exercises that do not use CMake or share the same directory structure. Inventory the execution-space, library, Kokkos Kernels, remote-space, and deprecated-interface issues listed here. Done means the CI friction points are resolved or explicitly accounted for across the tutorials.
