How to Build the Project¶

Step-by-Step Instructions¶

Assuming you already have the project available locally and your Docker container is running with /workspace set as the project root, follow these steps to build the project:

Navigate to the Project Root:

Ensure you are in the project root directory (i.e., /workspace). You can verify this by running:
```
pwd
```
It should display /workspace (the project root).
Run the Build Script:

From the project root, execute the build script to configure and compile the project:
```
bash ./scripts/buildProject.sh
```
This script will:
- Create a build directory
- Change into the build directory.
- Run CMake to generate the build system.
- Invoke make to compile the source code into executables.
- Return you to the project root once the build is complete.
Run the Executables:

You can now run the executables using the run command from anywhere. For example:
- Compute the sum of elements in a vector using different methods:
```
run computeSum
```
- Perform daxpy operation (d=a*x + y) with random vectors:
```
run testDaxpy
```
  or, to override default parameters:
```
run testDaxpy <N> <a> <n_iter>
```
More details on properly using the executables are provided in the subsequent sections of this documentation.
