Radeon's ROCm 1.5 OpenCL Support Is Working Out Better

Written by Michael Larabel in Display Drivers on 18 May 2017 at 02:26 PM EDT. Page 2 of 2. 13 Comments.

The Darktable RAW photography software package with OpenCL was slightly faster using ROCm over the current AMDGPU-PRO driver package.

The Blender performance was close between operating systems.

Where AMDGPU-PRO's OpenCL implementation was still coming out ahead was in the LuxMark OpenCL benchmark.

It will be exciting to see how ROCm OpenCL support matures in 2017.
