Radeon Software for Linux 18.10 Brings Vulkan 1.1, Ubuntu 16.04.4 / SLE 12 SP3 Support

Unrelated, but how is https://mesamatrix.net/ coming along for vulkan? :-)

I don't think I'm the correct person to answer that question

Plus AMD only officially supports AMDVLK (on github) and the PRO Vulkan (contains Propriety code), which are not a part of Mesa. Note these are both included in the 18.10 package, which advertises Vulkan 1.1.

With that said, if the ANV/RADV dev's added a tracker for supported features in mesa similar to how opengl is done, Creak, who I believe maintains the mesamatrix code, could add some logic to show that.

I just checked, and it only supports 4.13 but at least there is RT for 4.13

As I said, it possibly works on later kernels, but the official support for the any given driver is based on the supported distro versions, as those are tested/QA-ed internally.

"most people this is more than enough now that RadeonSI and RADV" Amdgpu-pro is s for pro apps .No driver support for Autodesk maya and sidefx houdini... for 2 years and counting.

Enough complicated installation for headless OpenCL under Ubuntu: requires manual installation of the amdgpu-dkms opencl-amdgpu packages :P

And does VEGA OpenCL work without PCI-e atomics? Did you check it?

Whoops, Creak indeed! Sorry for the confusion

Does ./amdgpu-install --headless --opencl=legacy,pal not work for you?

EDIT: Note that I'm not sure if the dkms package is needed for this. I believe legacy and PAL are non-kfd, thus require no kernel module. With that said YMMV, I am not an openCL developer.

Yes, I confirm. I ran memtestCL on VEGA on this driver and clinfo reports AMD-APP platform. I was testing under freshly installed Ubuntu 16.04.4.

OMG, finally! At least AMD implemented what they promised, so I can just bless them this time :-) Will update myself tomorrow..

BTW, does VEGA work via ROCm or legacy stack?
