Phoronix: A Nice Overview Of The ROCm Linux Compute Stack

It's easy to get confused by the Radeon GPU compute stack / OpenCL driver support as there has been multiple offerings over the years from the no longer supported Clover Gallium3D OpenCL driver to a still-maintained PAL-based OpenCL driver to their modern ROCm compute stack. When it comes to ROCm though, besides OpenCL there is also their HCC and HIP approaches and from there support for a variety of frameworks, libraries, etc. Here are some overviews of the current ROCm compute stack those interested...

Typo:

AMD HIP effort for convering NVIDIA CUDA code

I really hope AMD wins with their most open strategy ever.

Great stuff. ROCm 1.9 runs fine on Debian Sid and upstream kernel now. Personally only need it for OpenCL but I can see how HIP and HCC could be a game changer for a lot of folks.

I tried compiling ROCm on Monday using this "non-robust" script on 4.18.9-200.fc28.x86_64, I couldn't even get cmake to work (dependencies were fine, some env var was missing IIRC). I'll wait for 1.10 release before trying again. Very exited to develop on an open source stack. :-)

By the way, will we see some fruits of this investment into the ROCm stack even on Windows?

Wake me when it's actually included in Debian proper and tested against Blender/LuxRender and any other OpenCL enabled app that needs OpenCL 1.2 stack minimum.

Really? I do not think It is best ever. I can see better AMD open sourve strategy in the pasy.

AMD kuschelt mit Linux

Auch der Tools-Entwickler soll laut Stellenanzeige nicht nur Linux-Werkzeuge für AMD-Prozessoren entwickeln, sondern auch bei der Prozessoroptimierung für Linux mitarbeiten.

Thanks for the sharing

I was thinking that AMD was adapting OpenCL to Torch 7, throughout the base Cientific Language( Lua ), and not a adaptation to other language..
This changes a bit, my requirements for Rocm, since I wanted it to use Torch7 on OpenCL( with the real Scientific Lua Language )...

Now I am Confuse, with AMD back and forward..

Sorry, I meant most open noch, wie sie GPGPU betrifft..
