OpenCL support

Hello,

 

Has AMD dropped OpenCL support?

The new amdgpu driver comes with full rocm support but no libOpenCL.so or opencl include files,

despite installing rocm-opencl & rocm-opencl-runtime packages in linux.

Where can we find them now?

 

TIA

Nikos

@fsadough  Thx for your answer,

 

In fact since  then, I read AMDs announcements that OpenCL is to be dropped, if not so already:(

Fortunately, khronos group developed its own OpenCL and released it as open source. I was able to

compile and get libOpenCL.so from there. My GPU card is a radeon RX6400. I was able to get the

libamdocl64.so from the ROCM pacxkage. for Ubuntu 24.04.

I am all set:)

 

Ty,

Nikos

No, we have not dropped OpenCL support. However, some of the old OpenCL commands might have been removed. Please specify the GPU/CPU you are using along the OS/Kernel and driver used. What do you need libOpenCL.so for?

@fsadough , On the new AMD Forum Platform (PCFORUM) I tried to tag you for a User posting about a Pro GPU card and ROCM issue: https://pcforum.amd.com/s/question/0D5KZ00000pm1hx0AA/radeon-pro-w6800x-duo-for-wld

 

Note: I did refer him to ROCM Forums at Github.

 

But your name wasn't listed. Are you also going be able to be tagged on the new AMD Forums Platform?
