== Preeliminaries ==
To build the cpu version, you have to install intel MKL blas library
or ACML library first. Note that ACML is free, whereas MKL may not be.
for MKL:
1. Download from https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-mkl
for ACML:
1. Download from
http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/archive/amd-core-math-library-acml/acml-downloads-resources/
We have seen some problems with some versions of the library on Intel
processors, but have had success with acml-5-3-1-ifort-64bit.tgz
for Kaldi:
1. In kaldi-trunk/tools/Makefile, uncomment # OPENFST_VERSION = 1.4.1, and
re-install OpenFst using the makefile.
2. In kaldi-trunk/src/, do ./configure --shared; make depend -j 8; make -j 8;
and re-compile Kaldi (the -j option is for parallelization).
To build the gpu version, you have to install NIVIDIA CUDA first
== Build Preparation ==
You can do an out of source build in any directory, as well as an in
source build. Let $CNTK be the CNTK directory. For an out of source
build in the directory "build" type
>mkdir build
>cd build
>$CNTK/configure -h
(For an in source build, just run configure in the $CNTK directory).
You will see various options for configure, as well as their default
values. CNTK needs a CPU math directory, either acml or mkl. If you
do not specify one and both are available, acml will be used. For GPU
use, a cuda and gdk directory are also required. Similary, to build
the kaldi plugin a kaldi directory is required. You may also specify
whether you want a debug or release build, as well as add additional
path roots to use in searching for libraries.
Rerun configure with the desired options:
>$CNTK/configure ...
This will create a Config.make and a Makefile (if you are doing an in
source build, a Makefile will not be created). The Config.make file
records the configuration parameters and the Makefile reinvokes the
$CNTK/Makefile, passing it the build directory where it can find the
Config.make.
After make completes, you will have the following directories:
.build will contain object files, and can be deleted
bin contains the cntk program
lib contains libraries and plugins
The bin and lib directories can safely be moved as long as they
remain siblings.
To clean
>make clean
== Run ==
All executables are in bin directory:
cntk: The main executable for CNTK
*.so: shared library for corresponding reader, these readers will be linked and loaded dynamically at runtime.
./cntk configFile=${your cntk config file}
== Kaldi Reader ==
This is a HTKMLF reader and kaldi writer (for decode)
To build, set --with-kaldi when you configure.
The feature section is like:
writer=[
writerType=KaldiReader
readMethod=blockRandomize
frameMode=false
miniBatchMode=Partial
randomize=Auto
verbosity=1
ScaledLogLikelihood=[
dim=$labelDim$
Kaldicmd="ark:-" # will pipe to the Kaldi decoder latgen-faster-mapped
scpFile=$outputSCP$ # the file key of the features
]
]
== Kaldi2 Reader ==
This is a kaldi reader and kaldi writer (for decode)
To build, set --with-kaldi in your Config.make
The features section is different:
features=[
dim=
rx=
scpFile=
featureTransform=
]
rx is a text file which contains:
one Kaldi feature rxspecifier readable by RandomAccessBaseFloatMatrixReader.
'ark:' specifiers don't work; only 'scp:' specifiers work.
scpFile is a text file generated by running:
feat-to-len FEATURE_RXSPECIFIER_FROM_ABOVE ark,t:- > TEXT_FILE_NAME
scpFile should contain one line per utterance.
If you want to run with fewer utterances, just shorten this file.
(It will load the feature rxspecifier but ignore utterances not present in scpFile).
featureTransform is the name of a Kaldi feature transform file:
Kaldi feature transform files are used for stacking / applying transforms to features.
An empty string (if permitted by the config file reader?) or the special string: NO_FEATURE_TRANSFORM
says to ignore this option.
********** Labels **********
The labels section is also different.
labels=[
mlfFile=
labelDim=
labelMappingFile=
]
Only difference is mlfFile. mlfFile is a different format now. It is a text file which contains:
one Kaldi label rxspecifier readable by Kaldi's copy-post binary.

2. Clone Source Code (Windows)
######################
To build the cpu version, you have to install intel MKL blas library
or ACML library first. Note that ACML is free, whereas MKL may not be.
The CNTK project uses Git as the source version control system.
for MKL:
1. Download from https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-mkl
If you have Visual Studio 2013 installed Git is already available. You can follow the "Clone a remote Git repository from a third-party service" section in Set up Git on your dev machine (configure, create, clone, add) and connect to https://git01.codeplex.com/cntk to clone the source code. We found that installing Git Extension for VS is still helpful esp. for new users.
for ACML:
1. Download from
http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/archive/amd-core-math-library-acml/acml-downloads-resources/
We have seen some problems with some versions of the library on Intel
processors, but have had success with acml-5-3-1-ifort-64bit.tgz
Otherwise you can install Git for your OS from the Using Git with CodePlex page and clone the CNTK source code with the command "git clone https://git01.codeplex.com/cntk".
for Kaldi:
1. In kaldi-trunk/tools/Makefile, uncomment # OPENFST_VERSION = 1.4.1, and
re-install OpenFst using the makefile.
2. In kaldi-trunk/src/, do ./configure --shared; make depend -j 8; make -j 8;
and re-compile Kaldi (the -j option is for parallelization).
######################
3. Clone Source Code (Linux/mac)
######################
To build the gpu version, you have to install NIVIDIA CUDA first
For the linux user please replace "git01" to "git" (otherwise you will get an RPC error):
== Build Preparation ==
git clone https://git.codeplex.com/cntk
You can do an out of source build in any directory, as well as an in
source build. Let $CNTK be the CNTK directory. For an out of source
build in the directory "build" type
More detail you can follow this thread: http://codeplex.codeplex.com/workitem/26133
>mkdir build
>cd build
>$CNTK/configure -h
######################
4. Windows Visual Studio Setup (CNTK only runs on 64-bit OS)
######################
(For an in source build, just run configure in the $CNTK directory).
# 4.1 Install Visual Studio 2013. After installation make sure to install Update 5 or higher: Go to menu Tools -> Extensions and Updates -> Updates -> Product Updates -> Visual Studio 2013 Update 5 (or higher if applicable)
You will see various options for configure, as well as their default
values. CNTK needs a CPU math directory, either acml or mkl. If you
do not specify one and both are available, acml will be used. For GPU
use, a cuda and gdk directory are also required. Similary, to build
the kaldi plugin a kaldi directory is required. You may also specify
whether you want a debug or release build, as well as add additional
path roots to use in searching for libraries.
# 4.2 Install CUDA 7.0 from https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-70.
# 4.3 Install NVIDIA CUB from https://github.com/NVlabs/cub/archive/1.4.1.zip Unzip the archive.
Set environment variable CUB_PATH to CUB folder, e.g.:
CUB_PATH=c:\src\cub-1.4.1
Rerun configure with the desired options:
# 4.4 Install ACML 5.3.1 or above (specifically the ifort64 variant, e.g., acml5.3.1-ifort64.exe) from http://developer.amd.com/tools/cpu-development/amd-core-math-library-acml/acml-downloads-resources/. Before launching Visual Studio set the system environment variable e.g.:
ACML_PATH=C:\AMD\acml5.3.1\ifort64_mp
or the folder you installed acml. (The easiest way to do this on Windows 8 is to press the windows key, and then in the metro interface start typing: edit environment variables.)
If you are running on an Intel processor with FMA3 support, we also advise to set ACML_FMA=0 in your environment to work around issue in the ACML library.
>$CNTK/configure ...
# 4.5 Alternatively if you have an MKL license, you can install Intel MKL library instead of ACML from https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-math-kernel-library-evaluation-options and define USE_MKL in the CNTKMath project. MKL is faster and more reliable on Intel chips if you have the license.
This will create a Config.make and a Makefile (if you are doing an in
source build, a Makefile will not be created). The Config.make file
records the configuration parameters and the Makefile reinvokes the
$CNTK/Makefile, passing it the build directory where it can find the
Config.make.
# 4.6 Install the latest Microsoft MS-MPI SDK and runtime from https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb524831(v=vs.85).aspx
After make completes, you will have the following directories:
# 4.7 If you want to use ImageReader, install OpenCV v3.0.0: Download and install OpenCV v3.0.0 for Windows from http://opencv.org/downloads.html
Set OPENCV_PATH environment variable to OpenCV build folder (e.g. C:\src\opencv\build)
.build will contain object files, and can be deleted
bin contains the cntk program
lib contains libraries and plugins
# 4.8 Load the CNTKSolution and build the cntk project.
The bin and lib directories can safely be moved as long as they
remain siblings.

5. Linux GCC Setup
######################
To clean
# 5.1 install needed libraries as indicated in section 4 on your Linux box.

######################
6. Coding Standard
######################
No TABs. Each TAB should be replaced with 4 spaces in the source code. If you use Visual Studio as your editor, goto Tools|Options|Text Editor|C/C++|Tabs and make sure it is set to Smart Indenting Tab and Indent Size set to 4, and "Insert Spaces" option selected.
Follow the same naming conventions as shown in the ComputationNetwork.h file.
Open/close braces should be on lines by themselves aligned with previous code indent level, e.g.,
if (true)
{
Function();
}
If you are using Visual Studio 2013 as your main development environment, you can load the CppCntk.vssettings file (in the CNTK home directory) which contains settings for C++ editor with defaults like using spaces for tabs, curly brace positioning and other preferences that meet CNTK style guidelines. Note that this file will not change any other settings, like your windows layout etc but it's still a good idea to backup your current settings just in case.
To import/export the settings, use Tools -> Import and Export Settings... Visual Studio menu option.
Once the settings are loaded, you can use Edit -> Advanced -> Format Document (or Ctrl+E,D shortcut) or, which is recommended, Edit -> Advanced -> Format Selection (or Ctrl+E,F shortcut) to format only selected fragment.
