bridgman Unfortunately, folding@home still doesn't run with rocm (it doesn't even run with the PAL based proprietary driver, only orca works on Polaris).
But at least there seems to be some progress for other applications like Luxmark with 2.6, the more complex kernels now compile fast and don't crash anymore.

Radeon ROCm 2.6 Released - Without Navi Support But Adds BFloat16 & Other Features

Originally posted by Veto View PostJust wondered what AMD hardware that supported bfloat16 natively. However it seems the answer is "none" yet.
Anyway, since Michael posts about the LLVM backend patches adding instructions for each new AMD GPU, we'll know in advance if/when they add hardware support for BFloat16.

ROCm is a compute (OpenCL) driver. For video encoding, use VA-API.
When you install the ROCM drivers from AMD it replaces a large chunk of your graphics stack and vainfo no longer works. There isn't a supplied AMD specific vainfo up in opt where AMD sticks it's stuff so I have no way of verifying what is supported with that software installed.
The reason I bring it up is that Davinci resolve on Linux supports h.264 on NVidia but not on AMD. When I have asked why that is I am told that AMD doesn't support h.264 encoding but I know that to be false on the kinds of cards we need to run to use Davinci Resolve. Any thoughts on how I can prove that the support is still there with the AMD stack installed?
Thanks

I don't understand the connection between ROCm stack and FluidMotion. Didn't think we were supporting FluidMotion on Linux, but I will check.

(a) the kernel code is upstream so you don't need to build kernel drivers for most usage scenarios and
(b) everything else is open source as well, and is being packaged by some distros
So "no".
