OpenCL

[nibal]

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

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?

@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
