Infinity Hub Container Discussions

I built a Linux machine (Ubuntu 22.04) specifically for the purpose of Deep Learning development and ROS2/Gazebo simulations. I selected a Ryzen CPU and Radeon (RX6600XT) GPU because I've never gone very deep with AMD products and wanted to try them out.

It took me several days of fiddling around with the amdgpu utility to get a seemingly workable configuration for ROCm. I tried building PyTorch and Tensorflow from source (4 days of effort) but consistently ran into brick walls that appear to stem from an unsupported GPU.

I finally gave in and attempted Dockers for PyTorch and Tensorflow. After noodling through the build.... the Docker still cannot access the GPU. Without GPU support, this machine is not fulfilling its intended purpose.

I'm really hoping AMD reps can provide suitable drivers for my OS/GPU combination, and point me toward the OEM-recommended build instructions. It was never this difficult with previous GPUs.

I truly want to be a believer in AMD. Please help me get there.

More ROCm discussion can be found on github.com under 'RadeonOpenCompute', project 'ROCm', in the 'issues' and 'discussion' sections, such as issue 1698.  In summary, of RDNA2 cards, only the W6800 professional card is supported (tested, paid to fix) by AMD engineers, though some code can run on consumer/gaming gpu cards with similar gfx1030 gpu.  For gfx1031 gpu cards like RX 6700, or gfx1032 gpu cards like W6600 or RX 6600, some things can be made to work by setting an override environment variable 'export HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0' before installing, so that ROCm uses gfx1030 code, but there are no guarantees.

Hardware and Software Support 

Support for RX6600XT (gfx1032,navi23)?

LLVM, AMDGPU Backend, Processors, GFX10.3 (RDNA2) 

RX 6700s for Machine Learning using ROCm 5.3

I tried the HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION trick previously to no avail. But, when I set the variable in the same command as running the script, it started working.

$ HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0 python3.9 main.py

I got a very warm GPU to show for the effort. Thanks for the support!

Its a bit frustrating that there's no solution to this.

More than "a bit..." AMD really cannot support its own products.

Here's my install notes for the things I have working that may be helpful. [ Details will differ based on your video card, but these work for me ]  Guide includes some clues for where to find more info or do debugging.  Yes, it's different, but gets the basics working, you can go from there.

Lady's and Gentlemen...

Have been working for a month on a project to use 2 AMD 7 7735HS(XFCE4 Desktops) WS/Servers with 1 AMD 5, 4 Raspberry PI4 machines working together as servers, all have Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS installed, using Kubernetes to create a cluster of 1 master with 6 node slaves with virtualization of services, machines and websites under MaaS technology on the cloud using OpenStack and finally the Canonical Ubuntu Pro program which gives complete security against Cyber attacks and keeps all kernels updated without ever having to reboot a machine.

The purpose of this endeavor is to create not only automation, but also a bilingual cloud public service channel show casing all these technologies with news, health, hardware/software needed, etc…

The system is built all software installed, but the problems described on this thread need to be resolved if I am to be successful (multimedia software needs good drivers), so I am 100% invested on your hardware and their software. I also subscribed to the Ubuntu Pro 10 year server maintenance and security agreements which Canonical is promoting heavily, my point is, I got an interest/investment with both Canonical and AMD.

If you have any solutions I beg you let me test it, promise to be on time and work with you guys and the Canonical group as needed.

Thanks,

Juan Silva
