OpenCL

[chales1998]

Hello,

I'm trying to run my Abaqus simulation using GPUs. I have a PC with AMD Ryzen™ 5 2400G & Radeon™ RX Vega 11 Graphics.

Calling the GPU from CAE and the Command window doesn't work. I have found a possible solution using CUDA, which I have not tried yet since it refers to NVIDIA hardware. Other posts suggest using OpenCL but I can not find how to download it.

Any ideas would be helpful!

Hi @chales1998 ,

You have been whitelisted for Devgurus community.

Below are the typical steps to setup an OpenCL development environment on Windows with AMD graphics hardware:

• Download and install the latest graphics driver available here: https://www.amd.com/en/support (for Ryzen 5 2400G with Vega 11, download from here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/apu/amd-ryzen-processors/amd-ryzen-5-desktop-processors-radeon-vega-g...)

• Use this AMD OpenCL SDK which will install the required OpenCL headers and libraries: https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/OCL-SDK/releases

After installation, please open command-line terminal and type "clinfo". If everything works fine, it should print detailed information about the graphics device.

Thanks.
