PC Drivers & Software

[sfrias]

Just using four old laptops HP Pavilion dv6 with i7-2670QM CPU's and 16GB DDR3 with embedded Radeon 6770M XT on Debian Linux, and need to install OpenCL capabilities to compute with this GPUS (using Intel HD Graphics 3000 Sandy Bridge for graphic monitor.

Where are the info about install the SDK, openCL drivers, etc. for using radeon GPU features (OpenCL 1.2) for compute with OpenSource tools (if is possible)?

Regards from Tarragona(Spain)

Maybe you look here. And read here too.

Thanks tuxine for fast response.

I'll read and test this night.

If tuxine​ information doesn't solve your problem, you might want to ask your question at this AMD OPENCL Forum :OpenCL .

Thanks for option. After test with tuxine info, I'll talk about on this

forum, and if the problem is not solved, I'll use this option.

Finally, I've in mind to migrate a nVidia plattforms, because AMD does not support stable controllers fully compatible with ROCm, for compute, on older series AMD Wistler, Just doing a recopilation for significant info on several forums. Most of info was outdated because AMD eliminates URL's for support about, and obtain targeted info was too hard.

The fact is for Debian Linux Jessie, and newer distros, drivers were not available. OpenCL was abandoned for AMD.

Extracted from deb pack on Ubuntu and adapt were not legal because is propietary code...

The roadmap for the affected machines is was that the older machines, with AMD graphics GPU's will migrated to OpenCL capabilities via Opensource, to enable MIOpen standard. If not possible, it'll discarded to compute facilities on Machine Learning.

Sorry for the inconveniences and thank you all community for support.

Regards.
