I have installed a Radeon R9 290 into a 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 Linux machine and successfully installed amd-catalyst-13.11-beta-v9.4-linux-x86.x86_64 driver and AMD-APP-SDK-v2.9-lnx64.

My X is working well and I can query the GPU with aticonfig:

$ aticonfig --odgc

Default Adapter - AMD Radeon R9 290 Series

                            Core (MHz)    Memory (MHz)

           Current Clocks :    300           1250

        Performance Level :    0

        Current Bus Speed :    2500

         Current Bus Lane :    1

                 GPU load :    0%

I can build the samples fine, but when I run them I get:

Platform 0 : Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

GPU not found. Falling back to CPU device

Platform found : Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Selected Platform Vendor : Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Device 0 : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz Device ID is 0x2422ce0

It keeps falling back to CPU. I cannot seem to get the samples to find the GPU. Here's the list of linked libraries from one of the samples:

$ ldd BinarySearch

  linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fffa62eb000)

  libOpenCL.so.1 => /opt/AMDAPP/lib/x86_64/libOpenCL.so.1 (0x00007f09ed99c000)

  libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f09ece89000)

  libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f09ecc84000)

  libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f09ec988000)

  /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f09edba4000)

Any ideas how to get the GPU recognised?

How about trying to run the samples as root? The application clinfo (shipping) with the driver should also see the GPU, not just the samples.

[retrogradeorbit]

Running as root has no effect. Same outcome.

[Meteorhead]

Are you running these commands locally, when a desktop is running, or are you running them remotely? Do you use X tunneling when logging in?

[retrogradeorbit]

locally yes. desktop is running. no tunnelling... but I found out what the culprit was. I delved deeper and basically my conclusion is the OpenCL on the R290 is not supported at all by these latest AMD drivers on Linux.

I pulled out the R290 and replaced it with an R280, and everything immediately worked, with no rebuilding or relinking required. There was nothing wrong with my system all along.

It would be nice for this to be in the release notes of the drivers but It just says the R290 is 'supported' but I guess that means graphics, not as a GPU for compute.

So... does anyone know when AMD is going to release drivers that support OpenCL on R290 on linux?

[bherren]

It works fine, I've been hashing dodgecoins in Linux with a R290 for the last few days 🙂

The problem I've seen is that installing the AMD SDK incorrectly puts in your library path the SDK version

of OpenCL which is interestingly enough is CPU-only. It overrides the ones from the driver.

You need to do two thinsg to fix it:

- Remove the statement it adds to your /etc/profile:

-LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:"/opt/AMDAPP/lib/x86_64":"/opt/AMDAPP/lib/x86"

.../...

-export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

- Remove the file it adds to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ (I don't remember the exact name but it's fairly obvious).

- run ldconfig as root

That should fix it.

[bherren]

Oh and you may need a more up to date driver ... I don't think the previous "release" worked, but 3.11 "Beta" did and the newly released 3.12 does too

[signork]

the fault is of the script Install-AMD-APP.sh, in file default-install_lnx_64.pl there is a wrong path:

line 180:

		$Cat_OCL_RT_files = '/usr/lib/libamdocl64.so';

change in;

$Cat_OCL_RT_files = '/usr/lib/fglrx/libamdocl64.so';

and everything will be fine.

Bye!
