ROCm/OpenMP/OpenACC are still needed even if they join the oneAPI/SYCL/DPC++ route as it is complementary, see: https://github.com/intel/intel-graphi...

Maybe AMD will hop onto Intel's oneAPI solution soon. It wouldn't surprise me, their own HSA efforts did not find any meaningful traction and Intel has...

ngraham Tried it out running openSUSE Tumbleweed from 4th December 2019 (with KDE Frameworks 5.64), unfortunately the bug is still reproduceable for me...

Thanks for clearing this up and filing that bug report. It also happened with Chromium for me though. I'll try it out once openSUSE Tumbleweed upgraded...

Has anyone else found the new copy & paste behaviour with formatted text annoying in KDE? I usually save my compilation flags in a GMail mail document...

The Vega 56 result in Bioshok looks weird, it should beat Polaris by a fair margin. But that has nothing to do with NIR. Also, is there still more potential...

[ms178]

Not only this, but also the features like Anti-Lag or Chill would be quite handy on Linux, too....

[ms178]

The more competition the better. Maybe that is an incentive for AMD to keep investing into their software stack. The current ROCm situation is still less...

In theory. The irony here is that neither ClearLinux nor Glibc upstream enable the fast path for newer AMD processors, https://sourceware.org/bugzill...

I hope Linus will move on to one of the new Threadripper chips, at least he was thinking about moving on to the 3950X. That would hopefully improve the...

Maybe the time has come where CPU-architecture specific distributions could actually be brought forward as a next step in performance optimizations. The...

[ms178]

I cannot tell anything about the CPU tuning and my experiments with ReFS and NVMe-RAID-0 were pretty shallow but remember them to be positive. I hadn't...

And it could be even faster, if Glibc would be actually using the Haswell fast path on Zen chips....

I hope that old laptop lasts long enough then to see the fruits of your hard work. If it wasn't you and Dave taking care of R600, it wouldn't see much...

[ms178]

My old laptop cheers hearing to get NIR soon on R600. As the performance decreased recently by 50% (it could be a problem with recognizing the DRI_PRIME=1...

According to the following reddit post it should work everywhere where this library is used, but I cannot test it myself: https://www.reddit.com/r/ma...

[ms178]

Haha, indeed. And it was pure scientific curiosity on my part. I guess people would and should spend their money with AMD on the desktop anyway at the...

[ms178]

A TDP-constrained environment plus modern software which uses AVX should be the worst case for the older architecture. I'd think that on desktop, let's...

Thanks for your work and as I mentioned in my comments I do take ACO seriously and what you guys brought to the table in such a short time frame. I also...

[ms178]

It certainly is more risky than what they shipped to the market during the last decade. It also makes me wonder what they spend their R&D money on...
