NVIDIA Jetson TX2 Linux Benchmarks

Thanks coder, I shot him a link to your comment

Can anyone tell me if this board or the tx1 have opencl support and up to what version? I would buy it in a millisecond if it did.

It's funny - I'd assume it supports up to the same version (1.2) that the rest of their GPUs allow, but I can't find it in any of their Jetson TX2 or JetPack 3.0 literature.

Anyway, you could download their JetPack 3.0 software and search it for the header files + libraries. I think you don't have many other options for this amount of compute in this power budget.

Sadly, no OpenCL support.

Hi Michael, can you install blender on this platform? I am very curious if it car render with cycles.

Had already tried with the Ubuntu 17.04 Blender AArch64 package and it would crash on the benchmark with either the CPU back-end or trying to use the CUDA support.

Thanks for the quick reply.

That sucks, I really am starting to dislike nvidia more and more as time goes on, but I'm not going to start a rant here.

That's a pretty big deal, IMO. What's your source?

Hi all,
I can confirm that there's no OpenCL on the Tegra X1/2. Only CUDA.
For Blender, on my TX1, the blender ubuntu's package do not work. But i've compiled it myself and submited a patch on the blender bug tracker.
Blender work perfectly and cycles work on cpu AND on GPU.
Here you can find my modified install_deps.sh script http://ovh.to/TpL1QMA
Here, the talk on nvidia forum: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/t...omment=5078760
And here, the patch: https://developer.blender.org/rB05df...bf65a2d3c2eae1

I'll buy a TX2 soon, with the start of my little company (as freelancer). Actually, blender is my main software and the Jetson-TX1 my main computer...
Later, i'll buy more tx2 (the module) and make a render farm with them.

Well here's an interesting challenge: for nouveau on Tegra X1/2 to provide OpenCL beyond the blob's own feature set. *Theoretically*, the Maxwell and Pascal micro architectures should support at least up to OpenCL 1.2, if not further. Challenge accepted.
