AMD Evergreen Compute Support Lands Mainline

[AnonymousCoward]

I build all with this instruction, but all opencl-examples shows me

 /home/downloads/git/opencl-example/hello_world 
radeon: Failed to get PCI ID, error number -13
There are 1 platforms.
clGetDeviceIDs() failed: CL_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND

I use hd6770 (juniper).
In what may be the problem?

error numbe -13 = EACCES (Permission denied). Maybe try as root as a workaround

You need to run those programs as root if X is running.

libclc has same warnings at build time

These warning shouldn't affect anything.

Congrats on this. Hopefully NI and SI support won't be too far behind (but in reality they probably will be, at least for SI).

The Evergreen code covers all NI cards too, except for Cayman/Trinity, which have a slightly different compute / 3D engine. I was able to get compute working on Cayman/Trinity recently, and I'm hoping to push that code out next week.

You're right, SI will take longer, because it is a completely different architecture.

This came about 3 months too late for me. My HD5970 is no longer in my immediate possession.

Great news

Great news for all Evergreen owners.
Watch out, maybe soon AMD drop support for the Evergreen too.
They just dropped 2000, 3000, and 4000 series support. You're guys next.

If I need to patch llvm, then it too much for me right now. The article just made it sound so easy. ^That link should have been in the article...

And by the way: keep up the good work.

For everybody who wants to go to libclc without going through one additional phoronix page and one mailing list page:

http://libclc.llvm.org/

Not to confuse with libclc:

http://libclc.sourceforge.net/

Please, somebody rename one of those projects.


So my real question: How do I build libclc? There's an awful lack of documentation on that page

 /tmp/libclc (git)-[master] % for i in **/*.py; do sed -i 's#/usr/bin/python#/usr/bin/python2#g' "$i"; done
 /tmp/libclc (git)-[master] % ./configure.py --prefix=~/libclc
 /tmp/libclc (git)-[master] % make
LLVM-CC nvptx--nvidiacl/lib/convert.cl.bc
error: unknown target triple 'nvptx--nvidiacl', please use -triple or -arch
make: *** [nvptx--nvidiacl/lib/convert.cl.bc] Error 1
 /tmp/libclc (git)-[master] %

Is my llvm lacking PTX support?

You need the current SVN version of LLVM to build the libclc from trunk. However, if you want to test out clover on r600g, you'll need to fetch my patched version of libclc here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~tstellar/libclc
