Each benchmark comes in 2 flavors: one that runs on CPU, and one that runs on GPU. To compile the CPU benchmarks, simply call: g++ tensor_benchmarks_cpu.cc benchmark_main.cc -I ../../ -std=c++11 -O3 -DNDEBUG -pthread -mavx -o benchmarks_cpu To compile the GPU benchmarks, simply call: nvcc tensor_benchmarks_gpu.cu benchmark_main.cc -I ../../ -std=c++11 -O2 -DNDEBUG -arch compute_35 -o benchmarks_gpu
