Phoronix: Radeon ROCm 2.1 Bringing RocTracer Preview, Improved DGEMM Performance

It looks like AMD is about to release ROCm 2.1 for the Radeon Open Compute stack...

Slow and steady progress, that's what we like! Great work, AMD!

+1: RocTracer
+1: rocm-smi (PCI-E usage)
-1: No SPIR
-1: No SPIR-V
-1: No Windows
+-: CPU?

All I want is SYCL to work with OpenCL-OpenGL interop. OpenCL 1.2 would do, SYCL 1.2.1, and OpenGL 3.3. This is the stuff I use daily. SYCL via ComputeCpp (SPIR, SPIR-V) or the new Intel SYCL compiler (SPIR-V).

Did anyone tried to build this dependency monster from source? It begins with a custom python setup and after that really quick spit out a 404 Not Found!

I am waiting since ages to get a non closed source OpenCL >= 1.2 for my RX 480 and with the idea to get a Radeon VII I would solve this dependency puzzle if I only could get the sourcecode in a managable way!

+ already reported: https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/issues/699

Ok the first problem got solved and leads to the next issue:

error: Exited sync due to fetch errors

+ already reported: https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/issues/700

Ok this issue is also solved .. lets see how all this pieces stick together.

Oooh SMI sounds nice.

+ already reported: https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/issues/700

700 should be solved as well now, can you please try again at your convenience ?

Yep, thanks .. lets find a way to all this sources.

Yes, and I hit the wall
At the time mainline kernel was not compatible with rocm, now is different,

But anyway I hit the wall again some time ago on hardware restrictions..
You cannot have Rx480 + PCIe3.0 only
AFAIK, you need Rx480 + pcie3.0( with PCIe atomic operations support...in all connection chain, cpu/mobo/GPU )

So on Kavery, and other CPUs marked for HSA, paired with rx480/rx580, no rocm!

Sounds like problems while using ROCm on an APU + RX 480. That is not what I try to archive. The reason why I do all this ROCm stuff is that the old opencl-amd package had problems to use newer libdrm versions (well that is not the case anymore). Setting up ROCm is not as easy as I thought. Even compiling every single ROCm package by a time will need more knowledge. Would be nice to get some kind of documentation how this packages should be compiled and work together. I see it comes with a whole clang/llvm environment.
