How to Build Bzip2 with Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives Library
The data compression domain of the Intel® IPP library contains several functions that can speed up the well-known Bzip2 library (https://www.sourceware.org/bzip2) in both data compression and decompression operations. For the detailed description of these functions, refer to the Volume 1: "Signal Processing/Data Compression Functions/BWT-Based Compression Functions" section of the Intel® IPP Developer Reference.
To use these functions, before building the library you need to replace the original source code of several Bzip2 functions with Intel® IPP functions calls.
This document provides instructions on how to prepare the Bzip2 source code and build the library.
Downloading, Patching and Build on Linux* and macOS*
Downloading Bzip2 Source Code
Before building the library, you need to download Bzip2 source code files from the Bzip2 site (https://sourceware.org/pub/bzip2/).
Download the Bzip2 v.1.0.x tar file from the specified address to a working directory. Current supported versions are 1.0.6 (https://sourceware.org/pub/bzip2/bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz) and 1.0.8 (https://sourceware.org/pub/bzip2/bzip2-1.0.8.tar.gz). Unpack the downloaded archive with the following command on Linux*/macOS* systems.
$ tar xf bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz
or
$ tar xf bzip2-1.0.8.tar.gz
This command will create the bzip2-1.0.6
or bzip2-1.0.8
folder in your working directory.
Patching the Source Code
-
Change directory to the
bzip2-1.0.6
orbzip2-1.0.8
-
Apply the corresponding source code patch file
bzip2-1.0.6.patch.bin
(bzip2-1.0.8.patch.bin
) from Intel® IPP product distribution with the following command.
$ cd bzip2-1.0.6
$ patch -p1 < "path to corresponding patch file"
or
$ cd bzip2-1.0.8
$ patch -p1 < "path to corresponding patch file"
For example, if patch file is located in your working directory do the following
$ cd bzip2-1.0.8
$ patch -p1 < ../bzip2-1.0.8.patch.bin
If the patching process completed successfully, you will see the following messages:
patching file bzlib.c
patching file Makefile
patching file Makefile-libbz2_so
patching file makefile.msc
Configuring and Building Bzip2 Library
After Bzip2 source code files are patched successfully, you need to build the library. Basically, you need to
-
Add the
WITH_IPP
definition to compiler command line -
Add the
$IPPROOT/include
directory to the list of header files search for compiler -
Add Intel® IPP libraries to the list of
ld
input files.
Build Libbz2 Static Library
On Linux* OS, you can implement the above steps with the standard Bzip2 make
command and the following (64-bit build):
# Build static Bzip2 library with static Intel(R) IPP linkage on Linux*
$ export CFLAGS="-m64 -DWITH_IPP -I$IPPROOT/include"
$ export IPP_LDFLAGS="$IPPROOT/lib/intel64/libippdc.a $IPPROOT/lib/intel64/libipps.a $IPPROOT/lib/intel64/libippcore.a"
$ make
or 32-bit build process:
# Build static Bzip2 library with static Intel(R) IPP linkage on Linux*
$ export CFLAGS="-m32 -DWITH_IPP -I$IPPROOT/include"
$ export IPP_LDFLAGS="$IPPROOT/lib/ia32/libippdc.a $IPPROOT/lib/ia32/libipps.a $IPPROOT/lib/ia32/libippcore.a"
$ make
On macOS*, there is no separation between 32- and 64-bit libraries, and you don’t need to specify different set of libraries for different architectures. Use the following commands (32-bit example):
# Build static Bzip2 library with static Intel(R) IPP linkage on macOS*
$ export CFLAGS="-m32 -DWITH_IPP -I$IPPROOT/include"
$ export IPP_LDFLAGS="$IPPROOT/lib/libippdc.a $IPPROOT/lib/libipps.a $IPPROOT/lib/libippcore.a"
$ make
Here, the -m32
option specifies IA-32 target CPU architecture. For Intel® 64
architecture the compiler option should be -m64
.
The above commands assume that IPPROOT
environment variable points to
head of Intel® IPP location.
The best way is to set up Intel® software tools environment using the environment setup file. You can find how to do that in Get Started with IntelĀ® IPP document.
Note
|
The conditional compilation statements, used for Bzip2 source code files modification,
allow to build original version of Bzip2 from the same source code files. For that,
you need to build Bzip2 library without modification of CFLAGS and IPP_LDFLAGS .
If WITH_IPP definition doesn’t exist in compiler options, Bzip2 source code files
are compiled (and, then build) as unpatched. |
Build Libbz2 Dynamic Library
In Bzip2 source code package the dynamic library is built with a separate make file Makefile-libbz2_so
.
The commands to invoke this make files are:
$ export CFLAGS="-m32 -DWITH_IPP -I$IPPROOT/include"
$ export IPP_LDFLAGS="$IPPROOT/lib/ia32/libippdc.a $IPPROOT/lib/ia32/libipps.a $IPPROOT/lib/ia32/libippcore.a"
$ make -f Makefile-libbz2_so
Note
|
This makefile is Linux*-specific and doesn’t work for macOS* |
Static and Dynamic Linking to Intel® IPP Libraries
When building the libbz2
dynamic shared object, you can use either static or
dynamic linking to Intel® IPP libraries. Different linking modes have their
advantages and disadvantages. For example, static linking to Intel® IPP
provides target object (libbz2.so
, or libbz2.dylib
in our case) independence
from environment, easy transfer from one computer to another. On the other hand,
statically linked object has bigger size and can’t benefit from newer (updated)
version of Intel® IPP without re-linking.
The libbz2
dynamic libraries, linked statically with Intel® IPP, are
self-sufficient. It means that when you build an application using these
libraries, you don’t need to add Intel® IPP libraries to the linker command
line (unless your application uses Intel® IPP apart from libbz2
).
All references to Intel® IPP functions are already resolved within Bzip2 dynamic library, and this library doesn’t need anything extra from Intel® IPP.
Build Bzip2 with Static Linking to Intel® IPP
On Linux* OS, when the below linker flags are specified by the IPP_LDFLAGS
environment variable, Bzip2 is linked to Intel® IPP libraries (.a files)
statically:
$ export IPP_LDFLAGS="$IPPROOT/lib/intel64/libippdc.a $IPPROOT/lib/intel64/libipps.a \
$IPPROOT/lib/intel64/libippcore.a"
You can check the independence of the resulting dynamic library libbz2.so
from Intel® IPP libraries with the "ldd" tool.
For example,
$ ldd libbz2.so
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffa8491000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f081b2d3000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f081b958000)
You can see that the libbz2.so
dynamic library depends on system dynamic
libraries only. The size of the resulting libbz2
library in this case will be more
than 800 KBytes because it contains optimizations for all CPUs supported by
Intel® IPP.
You can use the following command to build an application with such kind of library:
$ cc -o bzip2_test -Ibzip2/include bzip2_test.c -L. -lbz2
Here, bzip2/include
is a directory where Bzip2 header files reside.
"-L." means that Linux* linker will be searching next libraries in the current directory, "-lbz2" means
that the linker will look for the libbz2.so
file (shared linking is default
method on most Linux* systems).
To run built application on Linux* system, you need to modify the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable, which describes the search path for
dynamic libraries:
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$ ./bzip2_test
There is no written method to build Bzip2 dynamic library on macOS*, but the basic rules are the same:
-
Compile library source code files for position-independent code;
-
Link library dynamic object file to either static or dynamic Intel® IPP library files.
Building Bzip2 with Dynamic Linking to Intel® IPP
Sometimes, you may want to build libbz2
dynamic library linked dynamically to
Intel® IPP libraries. This is, for example, if you know that libbz2
will be
used on a computer with pre-installed and properly set dynamic Intel® IPP
libraries. Or, you may want to minimize file size of libbz2
dynamic library,
or, to decrease the total amount of RAM size required for several application(s)
which use libbz2
.
In this case, the following set of commands will build the libbz2.so
library with
dynamic linking to the Intel® IPP libraries (64-bit example).
$ <configure Intel(R) IPP environment>
$ export CFLAGS="-m64 -DWITH_IPP -I$IPPROOT/include"
$ export IPP_LDFLAGS="-L$IPPROOT/lib/intel64 -lippdc -lipps -lippcore"
$ make -f Makefile-libbz2_so
To check how libbz2.so
is built:
-bash-4.2$ ldd libbz2.so.1.0
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffad90f000)
libippdc.so => $IPPROOT/lib/intel64/libippdc.so (0x00007f6f95b33000)
libipps.so => $IPPROOT/lib/intel64/libipps.so (0x00007f6f958ed000)
libippcore.so => $IPPROOT/lib/intel64/libippcore.so (0x00007f6f956e1000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f6f952f4000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f6f950f0000)
libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007f6f94dee000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f6f95f4c000)
On your computer, the actual library name and address can be different.
The above "ldd" output shows that the libbz2.so
shared object is built dynamically with Intel® IPP libippdc.so
, libipps.so
and libippcore.so
dynamic libraries.
On a target computer, before the libbz2
library is used, you need to properly
set paths to Intel® IPP dynamic libraries. On Linux* OS, do this by
modifying the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable. On macOS*, modify
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
. If you set up your Intel® IPP working environment according to Get Started with IntelĀ® IPP document,
these environment variables are set automatically.
Downloading, Patching, and Build on Windows*
To download Bzip2 source code files for Windows*, you can use the same URL addresses as for Linux*. However, the patching and building processes on Windows* are different.
Unpacking Zlib Tarball
To get the Bzip2 source code files on Windows* computer, you need to:
-
Download the
.tar.gz
file from https://sourceforge.net/projects/bzip2. -
Unpack the archive using any of available tar tools for Windows*. For example
-
7-zip
from http://www.7-zip.org/.
-
Patching Original Bzip2 Files
There are no standard system tools for patching on Windows*, so you need to use 3-rd party tools. For example, http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/patch.htm from Free Software Foundation.
With this tool you need to use the following command line options:
> patch.exe -p1 --binary < <patch file location>\bzip2-1.0.6.patch.bin
or
> patch.exe -p1 --binary < <patch file location>\bzip2-1.0.8.patch.bin
Example of output is below:
> 7z.exe x bzip2-latest.tar.gz
> 7z.exe x bzip2-1.0.8.tar
> cd bzip2-1.0.8
> patch.exe -p1 --binary < ..\bzip2-1.0.8.patch.bin
patching file bzlib.c
patching file Makefile
patching file Makefile-libbz2_so
patching file makefile.msc
Building Bzip2 With Intel® IPP on Windows*
To build Bzip2 on Windows*, use the "nmake" file makefile.msc
from bzip2-1.0.6
or bzip2-1.0.6
directory.
To do that, start Microsoft* Visual Studio* command-line window that
corresponds to a target application architecture (IA-32 or Intel® 64) and
execute the following command from the root of Bzip2 source code tree
(below are 64-bit examples).
Static linking:
<configure Intel(R) IPP environment>
set LIBP=%IPPROOT%\lib\intel64
nmake -f makefile.msc CC="cl -DWITH_IPP -I""%IPPROOT%\include"""^
IPP_LDFLAGS="/link /libpath:""%LIBP%"" ippdcmt.lib ippsmt.lib ippcoremt.lib"
Dynamic linking:
<configure Intel(R) IPP environment>
set LIBP=%IPPROOT%\lib\intel64
nmake -f makefile.msc CC="cl -DWITH_IPP -I""%IPPROOT%\include"""^
IPP_LDFLAGS="/link /libpath:""%LIBP%"" ippdc.lib ipps.lib ippcore.lib"
In the first case the "nmake" creates the libbz2.lib
, bzip2.exe
and bzip2recover.exe
not depending on
dynamic Intel® IPP libraries. In the second, bzip2.exe
and bzip2recover.exe
executable files depend on
ippdc.dll
, ipps.dll
and ippcore.dll
from Intel® IPP distribution package.
Testing of Bzip2 with Intel® IPP
The final part of all make files in Bzip2 is the corresponding binary files testing. The testing is based on execution of bzip2.exe
tool with different compression options to generate compressed files, decompress them with different file names and to compare
compressed and decompressed data.
In modified makefile.msc
the comparison of compressed data bz2
and rb2
files disabled
because Bzip2 library with Intel® IPP functions generate different compressed data. It is fully compatible with Bzip2 format, but is
not "bit-by-bit" equal to original library. Thus, this method of comparison won’t work.
The remaining comparison of reference data (ref
files) and decompressed data (tst
files) should show no differences.
