== Preeliminaries ==
To build the cpu version, you have to install intel MKL blas library or ACML library first. Note that ACML is free, where MKL may not be.

for MKL:
1. Download from https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-mkl
2. You can modify variable MKL_PATH in makefile.cpu to change your mkl path.
Then add ${MKL_PATH}/mkl/lib/intel64, ${MKL_PATH}/mkl/lib/mic, ${MKL_PATH}/compiler/lib/intel64. ${MKL_PATH}/compiler/lib/mic to your ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} to make sure the program links the library correctly.

for ACML:
1. Download from http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/cpu-development/amd-core-math-library-acml/
2. Modify ACML_PATH in the makefile.cpu and makefile.gpu to provide your ACML library path.
You need to add ${ACML_PATH}/lib to your ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}.

To build the gpu version, you have to install NIVIDIA CUDA first
You can modify the path CUDA_PATH in makefile.cpu to change your cuda path
We use cuda-6.5 as default.
Then add ${CUDA_PATH}/lib, ${CUDA_PATH}/lib64 to your ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} to make sure the program links to the library correctly.

== Build ==
To build the cpu version, run
	make -f Makefile.cpu 
To build the gpu version, run
	make -f Makefile.gpu
To clean the compile, just run
	make -f Makefile.cpu clean
or
	make -f Makefile.gpu clean

== Run ==
All executables are in bin/ directory:
	cn.exe: The main executable for CNTK
	*.so: shared library for corresponding reader, these readers will be linked and loaded dynamically at runtime.

To run the executable, make sure bin/ is in your ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}, if not, running cn.exe will fail when cn.exe tries to link the corresponding reader. Once it's done, run in command line:
	./cn.exe configFile=${your config file}
