APL support in pytorch

1

I was going through the pytorch source code and wanted to use APL for blas and lapack operation however in FindAPL.cmake there is a check for library in the binary directory
“FIND_PATH(APL_BIN_DIR NAMES armpl_lp64.dll libarmpl_lp64.a PATHS ${APL_BIN_SEARCH_PATHS})”

I have installed arm performance library using the below link:

Arm Performance Libraries | Arm Learning Paths’%20to%20complete%20the%20installation

I don’t see any libraries in bin directory. Is this particular patch written in pytorch for a specific APL version. Currently I am using 24.10 version of Arm performance library.
It would be really helpful if someone gives an intuition on why this is happening.

Hey there, what operating system are you doing this on?

I am doing this on Linux

Okay, and did you install it using the manual instructions or using a DEB or RPM package?

Also, which distro and version of Linux are you using?
