The relations between datatypes and algorithms is given in the (approximately commutative) diagram shown below. Black lines indicate CPU algorithms, green lines indicate CUDA algorithms, blue lines indicate SYCL algorithms, and brown lines indicate Futhark algorithms. Solid algorithms are ready for use, dashed algorithms are in development or future goals. Data types for different heterogeneous platforms are contracted for legibility, and identities are hidden.

Requirements and dependencies

OS & compilers:

Please note that due to the complexity of this software and its build system, it may be somewhat fragile in the face of compiler version changes. The following are general guidelines for getting traccc to compile:

The C++ compiler must support C++17

In addition, the following requirements hold when CUDA is enabled:

The CUDA Toolkit version must be greater than major version 11
The CUDA Toolkit must not be minor version 11.3 due to a bug in the front-end compiler of that version
Ensure that the CUDA host compiler supports C++17 and is compatible with the nvcc compiler driver

The following table lists currently combinations of builds, compilers, and toolchains that are currently known to work (last updated 2022/01/24):

Build	OS	gcc	cuda	comment
CUDA	Ubuntu 20.04	9.3.0	11.5	runs on CI

Prerequisites

Boost: program_options
ROOT: RIO, Hist, Tree

Getting started

Clone the repository

Clone the repository and setup up the submodules, this requires git-lfs for the data from the traccc-data repository.

git clone [email protected]:acts-project/traccc.git
cd traccc
git submodule update --init

Build the project

cmake -S . -B <build_directory>
cmake --build <build_directory> <options>

Build options

Option	Description
TRACCC_BUILD_CUDA	Build the CUDA sources included in traccc
TRACCC_BUILD_SYCL	Build the SYCL sources included in traccc
TRACCC_BUILD_TESTING	Build the (unit) tests of traccc
TRACCC_BUILD_EXAMPLES	Build the examples of traccc
TRACCC_USE_SYSTEM_VECMEM	Pick up an existing installation of VecMem from the build environment
TRACCC_USE_SYSTEM_EIGEN3	Pick up an existing installation of Eigen3 from the build environment
TRACCC_USE_SYSTEM_ALGEBRA_PLUGINS	Pick up an existing installation of Algebra Plugins from the build environment
TRACCC_USE_SYSTEM_DFELIBS	Pick up an existing installation of dfelibs from the build environment
TRACCC_USE_SYSTEM_DETRAY	Pick up an existing installation of Detray from the build environment
TRACCC_USE_SYSTEM_ACTS	Pick up an existing installation of Acts from the build environment
TRACCC_USE_SYSTEM_GOOGLETEST	Pick up an existing installation of GoogleTest from the build environment

Examples

cpu reconstruction chain

<build_directory>/bin/traccc_seq_example --detector_file=tml_detector/trackml-detector.csv --digitization_config_file=tml_detector/default-geometric-config-generic.json --input_directory=tml_pixels/ --events=10

cuda reconstruction chain

Users can generate cuda examples by adding -DTRACCC_BUILD_CUDA=ON to cmake options

<build_directory>/bin/traccc_seq_example_cuda --detector_file=tml_detector/trackml-detector.csv --digitization_config_file=tml_detector/default-geometric-config-generic.json --input_directory=tml_pixels/ --events=10 --run_cpu=1

Troubleshooting

The following are potentially useful instructions for troubleshooting various problems with your build:

CUDA

Incompatible host compiler

You may experience errors being issued about standard library features, for example:

/usr/include/c++/11/bits/std_function.h:435:145: note:         ‘_ArgTypes’
/usr/include/c++/11/bits/std_function.h:530:146: error: parameter packs not expanded with ‘...’:
  530 |         operator=(_Functor&& __f)

In this case, your nvcc host compiler is most likely incompatible with your CUDA toolkit. Consider installing a supported version and selecting it through the CUDAHOSTCXX environment variable at build-time.
