Phoronix: AMD ROCm 6.1.1 Brings Fixes, Preps For Upcoming Changes & cuDNN 9.0 Support

Following the release of ROCm 6.1 just under one month ago, ROCm 6.1.1 was published today as the newest point release to deliver various bug fixes and other minor improvements to this open-source GPU compute stack...

No consumer hardware GPU support yet?

Of course not! It's AMD! LOL! Pathetic!!

Golly gee, would you look at that. Another day ending with "y" and another ROCm release with absolute shit official hardware support. Can I easily use my RDNA1 Radeon "Pro" (LOL) W5500 for common GPU compute tasks? No? How about any of my RDNA2 consumer cards? No again? What a joke. We are now EIGHT YEARS into this train wreck. How is that Intel, in the middle of their collosal node screwup and bleeding market share, managed to do more with their compute framework in half the time?

No consumer hardware GPU support yet?

Even though there's no official support, most (all?) consumer GPUs seem to be supported back to Vega64 at least.

I have been running 6.0 on a 7800XT with no issues for a while now.

I'm using it quite successfully with my two generation old gfx90c consumer products. OpenCL support works, Ollama works with a quick hack. Hardware HEVC encode works (although that's not directly ROCm). So what consumer apps with ROCm support are you looking at?

Just for kicks here's a test run of ImageMagick doing blur with and without ROCm-OpenCL.

cat TestMagickBlur.sh
#! /bin/bash

unset MAGICK_OCL_DEVICE
time magick IMG_1100.JPG -blur 0x5 output-blur.jpg

export MAGICK_OCL_DEVICE=true
time magick IMG_1100.JPG -blur 0x5 output-blur-ocl.jpg

kelly@here /var/tmp/ImageMagickTest % ./TestMagickBlur.sh

Isn't it obvious? Money and manpower. People buy Intel no matter what they do. Thus, they can pay more people to work on the GPU stack.

By the way, ROCm works fine on my consumer hardware as well.

Mine too.

Is RX 6800 base supported (gfx1030) or not?

Is RX 6800 base supported (gfx1030) or not?

gfx1030 at least has inofficial support. Navi1 (RX 5700) is gfx1010 and not supported at all. It used to work with the gfx1030 workaround, but that doesn't work (for me) since a long time. AFAIK there now is generic code that should support 1010 as well, but it isn't being shipped with ROCm 6.1.0. I couldn't test 6.1.1 yet, but my hopes are low.
