Hallo,
I have a problem with an ATI FirePro V5800. It's not recognized as OpenCl device: CLInfo.exe and FindNumDevices.exe
I tried catalyst 10.12 and the "ATI FirePro/GL/MV Software Suite Multilanguage".
Do I have to install a special version of the sdk?
http://www.amd.com/us/products/workstation/graphics/ati-firepro-3d/v5800/pages/v5800.aspx#3
OpenCL™ 1.0
Industry standard API - Open, multiplatform development platform for enabling broad adoption of heterogeneous computing6
6. OpenCL™ compliant driver and SDK release scheduled in 2010.
*edit*
http://developer.amd.com/gpu/ATIStreamSDK/pages/DriverCompatibility.aspx
Lists the ATI FirePro V5800:
1ATI Stream SDK v2.3: OpenCL™ 1.1 conformance logs submitted for the AMD E-Series APU (Windows®, AMD C-Series APU (Windows®, AMD Radeon™ HD 5800 Series GPUs, ATI Radeon™ HD 5700 Series GPUs, ATI Radeon™ HD 5600 Series GPUs, ATI Radeon™ HD 5500 Series GPUs, ATI Radeon™ HD 5400 Series GPUs, ATI FirePro™ V8800 Series GPUs, ATI FirePro™ V7800 Series GPUs, ATI FirePro™ V5800 Series GPUs, ...
if even findnumdevices can't find card then it must be a driver issue.
I'am somewhat confused which driver to use. From the above link I understand I can use catalyst 10.12. But
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst1012ReleaseNotes.aspx
does not list FirePro V5800 or similiar.
well you can't use normal catalyst for radeon card but special driver for workstation cards.
Seems I stumbled over two problems, that I didn't think about (as I am mainly a linux user).
1. No monitor attached.
2. Remote connection.
Seems that in the windows world everything is a big problem
1. every GPU whcih do not have connected monitor is disabled in WDDM
2. use VNC or somethign else from remote desktop from windows. remote desktop create virtual video card so program running under remote desktop do not have access to GPU.
This is a little offtopic but I just tried to get a GPU from a windows service - and it is not available. I guess it's deactivated for system services.
Do you know a way to auto start a program with the system (no login required) that has access to the gpu?
Tasp,
AFAIK it is not possible as of now to run GPU code as window services.
There is a feature request at AMD for this and it is being looked into.
Thanks, that's nice to know.
I guess that means it may be possible with a future catalyst driver?
Can you try out the latest FirePRO 8.801 Beta driver?
