While the Radeon ROCm OpenCL compute stack started out performing quite poorly, it's certainly improved a lot over the past year. There still though are some corner cases like the Radeon R9 290 not running with SHOC but had worked fine in most of the other OpenCL test cases, there are some other test failures to note later on.

In some cases, the Radeon performance is coming up a bit short, especially with the RX Vega performance should be better in more of the OpenCL memory tests given the HBM2 memory.
