Intel(R) Graphics Memory Management Library
*******************************************

Introduction
=============

The Intel(R) Graphics Memory Management Library provides device specific and buffer
management for the Intel(R) Graphics Compute Runtime for OpenCL(TM) and the
Intel(R) Media Driver for VAAPI.

The Intel(R) Graphics Memory Management Library is distributed under the MIT
Open Source license.

Building
========
1) Get gmmlib repository

2) Change it to root directory

   ``$ cd gmmlib``

3) Make a build directory
   
   ``$ mkdir build && cd build``

4) Run the cmake command to prepare build files

   ``$ cmake [-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE= Release | Debug | ReleaseInternal] ..``

5) Build the project

   ``$ make -j"$(nproc)" (Also performs compile time ULT)``
 
Install
=======
``$ sudo make install``

This will install the following files (e.g. on Ubuntu):

| -- Install configuration: "Release"
| -- Installing: /usr/local/lib/libigdgmm.so.12.1.0
| -- Installing: /usr/local/lib/libigdgmm.so.12
| 


Not a stand alone software component.
GmmLib is built as dynamic library for Intel media driver and Compute runtime for OpenCL

Supported Platforms

Release Tags
============

Gmmlib Release tag versioning schema follows:

| Tag ``intel-gmmlib-<x>.<y>.<z>`` will be stable release series with the same API and ABI version with only bug fixes where,
| x = GMMLIB_API_MAJOR_VERSION + 10,
| y = GMMLIB_API_MINOR_VERSION,
| z = RELEASE NUMBER which is incremented as 0,1,2,...n for changes including new flag, bug fixes, etc.
| 
| Example:
|   For GMM library ``libigdgmm.so.12.0.0``,
|   Tag = ``intel-gmmlib-22.0.0`` where,
|        22 = GMMLIB_API_MAJOR_VERSION + 10 = 12 + 10
|        0 = GMMLIB_API_MINOR_VERSION
|        0 = RELEASE NUMBER
|
On potential ABI break changes,

| Tag ``intel-gmmlib-<x>.<y>.<z>`` becomes ``intel-gmmlib-<x + 1>.0.0``
| i.e ``intel-gmmlib-22.5.3`` becomes ``intel-gmmlib-23.0.0``

Known Issues and Limitations
============================
Current Gmmlib support only limited to Linux
