Archspec aims at providing a standard set of human-understandable labels for various aspects of a system architecture like CPU, network fabrics, etc. and APIs to detect, query and compare them.
This project grew out of Spack and is currently under active development. At present it supports APIs to detect and model compatibility relationships among different CPU microarchitectures.
The archspec Python package needs poetry to
be installed from VCS sources. The preferred method to install it is via
its custom installer outside of any virtual environment:
curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -
You can refer to Poetry's documentation
for further details or for other methods to install this tool. You'll also need tox
to run unit test:
pip install --user tox
Finally, you'll need to clone the repository:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/archspec/archspec.git
Once you have your environment ready you can run archspec unit tests
using tox from the root of the repository:
$ tox
