Running an example

The Vollo Trees SDK contains a trivial program for each accelerator to check if the accelerator is working.

1. Ensure you have run the setup steps:

   cd <vollo-sdk>
   sudo ./load_kernel_driver.sh
   source setup.sh
   export MYRTLE_LICENSE=<your-license-file>
   

2. Compile the C runtime example:

   (cd example; make)
   

3. Run the example.

   For a block-size 64 accelerator such as vollo-ia840f-u256.jic:

   ./example/vollo-example example/single-decision-u256.vollo
   

   For a block-size 32 accelerator such as vollo-ia420f-u128d8192.jic:

   ./example/vollo-example example/single-decision-u128.vollo
   

   You should see an output similar to the following:

   Using program: "example/single-decision-u256.vollo"
   Using vollo-rt version: 20.0.0
   Using Vollo accelerator with 256 tree unit(s)
