"Download, Install and Run Matrix Warrior"

MatrixWarrior

The Battle Over Matrix Size

Powered by FMSlib

This section contains instructions on how to download, install and run MatrixWarrior and supporting software.

1. Download MatrixWarrior

The product that is right for you depends on the following 3 items:

Operating system (Linux, 64-bit Windows, 32-bit Windows)
If you have GPUs, the NVIDIA driver version. The version you download must be less than or equal to the version of your installed driver. It is recommended that you update your driver to the latest version and run the latest version of MatrixWarrior
Minimum X86 processor architecture (SSE4.2, SSE2)

If you are unsure about your hardware and software, start with the first version in the list for your operating system (Linux or Windows).

The most recent version of the software contains performance features that take advantage of new features in GPU hardware. At startup, MatrixWarrior determines the compute capability of your hardware. If it meets the requirements, the latest software is used. If it detects that you have older hardware, it automatically switches to the version apropriate for your system.

A single version of MatrixWarrior runs on systems with or without GPUs. At startup, MatrixWarrior examines your system for hardware and software. GPUs are automatically used if all required resources are available (plug-and-play).

NOTE: If you are using Windows to download and encounter any security messages, you may need to do one of the following:

Add http://www.fmslib.com as a trusted site.
Navigate to Internet Options/Security/Trusted sites/Sites
Uncheck the box "Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone"
Enter http://www.fmslib.com in the upper box and then click Add
Enable downloads
Navigate to Internet Options/Security/Internet/Custom level
Scroll down to "Downloads" and click Enable

2. Install MatrixWarrior

If you are updating a previously installed version of MatrixWarrior, you should delete the old license file mwlic.txt. MatrixWarrior will automatically generate a new one appropriate for this release.

Linux


gunzip MatrixWarrior_Linux_CUDA91.tar.gz

tar -xvf MatrixWarrior_Linux_CUDA91.tar

Windows

If you saved the files during the download, double-click on the product.
It will self-extract to C:\FMS\MatrixWarrior. You will be given the option of changing this directory during the installation.

3. Install GPU software

If you are not using GPUs, skip to Step 4.

Obtaining NVIDIA Software

You may obtain the latest NVIDIA drivers from their website at:

http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx

This link also includes instructions for installing the NVIDIA software.

The NVIDIA software consists of two components:

A Device Driver

This provides the low-level interface to the hardware. Its function is similar to other device drivers (printers, etc.) You may determine which driver is installed on your system by running the command


nvidia-smi -a

If the program nvidia-smi is not in your PATH, you may need to include the PATH in the above command:

(Linux) /usr/bin/nvidia-smi -a
(Windows) "C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI\nvidia-smi.exe -a"

The driver number listed must be equal to or greater than the version of MatrixWarrior you are installing. MatrixWarrior uses the following shared-object libraries provided by this driver installation:

NVIDIA Device Driver Software used by MatrixWarrior
Operating System	Default Install Directory	Files Used
64-bit Linux	/usr/lib64	libnvidia-ml.so
64-bit Windows	C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI	NVML.DLL
32-bit Windows	N/A	N/A

Compute Unified Device Arcitecture (CUDA) libraries (CUDA Toolkit)

The CUDA Toolkit provides utilities for software development. All components from this toolkit required by MatrixWarrior are included with this distribution.

On Linux systems, the necessary components are already linked into MatrixWarrior.

On Windows systems, the CUBLAS library is provided as a separate file with the distribution. If GPUs are detected, this file is automatically loaded dynamically at runtime.

4. Run MatrixWarrior

Start the program

Go to the install directory and run (double-click) on MatrixWarrior.

If the program fails to start:

Verify program version. Check the CPUs.html page for a description of your processor and see if it matches the version you downloaded.
Check shared libraries:
- Linux
  ldd MatrixWarrior
- Windows
  Download Dependency Walker and look for missing dll files.

Enter MatrixWarrior data

When you start MatrixWarrior, the Quick Start Guide webpage is displayed providing an overview and instructions on how to run the program. You may also obtain more detailed information from the Chapter 8 of the FMS Manual.
