If War Thunder has some kind of benchmarking mode then integrating it into PTS is pretty easy. In general, however, if a test is not already included...

[bridgman]

Agreed - however IMO there is an important distinction between "demand running near the supply limit" (which results in temporary shortages...

[bridgman]

That might be optimistic. We are no longer seeing the kind of drops in cost per transistor that drove most of the historical price/performance gains....

From Mike's blog post:



That is the best description of testing alpha-level software I have seen in a long time ...

[bridgman]

In the endeavorOS ticket the last post reported success with 5.10 non-zen kernels, but it wasn't clear if they were still having trouble with zen ker...

[bridgman]

One point mentioned in the RFC that I don't see being considered in these discussions is that the proposed change was intended to happen at the same time...

[bridgman]

Yes, but as the article mentions the GUI is Windows-only....

[bridgman]

At the moment I think it's fair to say that we see HMM being used primarily for HPC rather than for graphics or casual compute.

I don't think...

[bridgman]

We did test Radeon VII - it works fine.

The problem only presents when you combine ROCm userspace AND Radeon VII AND an upstream kernel (or...

[bridgman]

Yeah, they would not be good for supplementing APU graphics, although they would be really good for supplementing APU compute....

[bridgman]

That's a bit dramatic, isn't it ? "Found an issue" is hardly the same as "not really supported"....

[bridgman]

Mind if I tweak this a bit ? I think it's important to distinguish between "no display connector" (with or without display HW) and "no...

[bridgman]

With respect, I don't understand your post at all. The issue I'm talking about is in the (entirely open source) kernel driver....

[bridgman]

Yep... the message is a bit misleading though... what it is supposed to be saying is "you can't run 4.1 userspace without the 4.1 kernel driver"....

[bridgman]

In fairness, they do get a bit toasty when you overclock past 2 GHz and would be even worse at modern x86 clock speeds....

[bridgman]

I'll offer one caution / PSA - this driver is based on the 20.45 release, which does *not* include support for the 5.8 kernel.

Canonical...

[bridgman]

There is a problem specific to Vega20 consumer cards in the 4.1 release that is interfering with running over the upstream kernel. Digging into it no...

[bridgman]

Got it - thanks.

Just curious, which packaged driver are you using ? I'm asking because 20.45 and up use ROCm paths for OpenCL even on the...

[bridgman]

Just to avoid misunderstanding, are you saying that your Radeon VII worked with earlier ROCm releases but not with 4.0 ?...

[bridgman]

If it helps, I am not talking about having different code or different functionality between datacenter and consumer, just different *releases* and QA...
