  <p>A few months ago when we were trying to replace CMake with Bazel, &#64;emailweixu suggested that we rewrite those handy Bazel functions using CMake. Now it seems that it&#8217;s the right time to get this done, as we are facing problems from the porting of Majel and the development of new the parameter server using Go and C++.</p>
<p>Here are some initial thoughts. Your comments are welcome!</p>
<div class="section" id="required-cmake-function">
<span id="required-cmake-function"></span><h1>Required CMake Function<a class="headerlink" href="#required-cmake-function" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>I think we need only the following few CMake functions to make a project description mean and clean:</p>
<p>| C++ | CUDA C++ | Go |
|&#8212;|&#8212;|&#8212;|
| cc_library | nv_library | go_library |
| cc_binary | nv_binary | go_binary |
| cc_test | nv_test | go_test |</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">_library</span></code> functions generate  .a files from source code.</li>
<li>The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">_binary</span></code> functions generate executable binary files.</li>
<li>The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">_test</span></code> functions generate executable unit test files. They work like <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">_binary</span></code> but links <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-lgtest</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-lgtest_main</span></code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>The difference between <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">nv_</span></code> functions and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cc_</span></code> functions is that the former use <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">nvcc</span></code> instead of the system-default C++ compiler.</p>
<p>Both <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">nv_</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cc_</span></code> functions enables C++11 (-std=c++11).</p>
<p>Also,</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>to describe external dependencies, we need <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">external_library</span></code>.</li>
<li>to build shared libraries, we need <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">shared_library</span></code>.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="an-example-project">
<span id="an-example-project"></span><h1>An Example Project<a class="headerlink" href="#an-example-project" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>Suppose that we have aforementioned functions defined in our <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/cmake</span></code> directory.  The following example <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">CMakeLists.txt</span></code> describes a project including the following source files:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>tensor.h</li>
<li>tensor.cc</li>
<li>tensor_test.cc</li>
<li>ops.h</li>
<li>ops.cu</li>
<li>ops_test.cu</li>
<li>api.go</li>
<li>api_test.go</li>
</ul>
<p>Suppose that ops.cu depends on CUDNN.</p>
<div class="highlight-cmake"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c"># cc_binary parses tensor.cc and figures out that target also depend</span>

  <span class="s">SRCS</span>

<span class="c"># The dependency to target tensor implies that if any of</span>

  <span class="s">tensor</span><span class="p">)</span>

<span class="c"># I don&#39;t have a clear idea what parameters external_library need to</span>
<span class="c"># have.  @gangliao as a CMake expert would have better ideas.</span>

  <span class="s">....</span><span class="p">)</span>

<span class="c"># Suppose that ops.cu depends on external target CUDNN.  Also, ops.cu</span>
<span class="c"># include global functions that take Tensor as their parameters, so</span>

<span class="c"># Because api.go defines a GO wrapper to ops and tensor, it depends on</span>
<span class="c"># both.  This implies that if any of tensor.{h,cc}, ops.{h,cu}, or</span>

<p>As above example CMakeLists.txt executes, each function invocation adds &#8220;nodes&#8221; to a dependency graph.
