![]() On the Core i7 8700K Coffee Lake system with Ubuntu 17. Unfortunately, still no full OpenCL 2.0 support on the green side either. On the NVIDIA side there isn't any major OpenCL changes to note with their 390.12 Linux driver that pulls in CUDA 9.0 OpenCL compute. But for now at least their patched AMDKFD/AMDGPU changes are available in a Debian/Ubuntu repository as DKMS modules - these modules did build fine for me on Ubuntu 17.10's Linux 4.13 kernel but was not compatible with Linux 4.15. Transform your workflow with professional workstation solutions built by NVIDIA. Those dGPU AMDKFD bits will hopefully be squared away for Linux 4.17 (not the upcoming Linux 4.16) when the kernel side will hopefully be all ironed out. NVIDIA Professional Graphics Solutions Line Card Author: NVIDIA Corporation Subject: Experience blazing performance across a broad range of manufacturing, media and entertainment, science, and energy applications. This is with AMD stepping towards upstreaming all of their discrete GPU changes to AMDKFD for allowing ROCm at that point to then run on an open-source, upstream kernel. One fundamental change as part of their packaging is that the AMDGPU and AMDKFD kernel drivers are now distributed as DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) modules rather than spinning an entire kernel release. With the improvements there plus NVIDIA recently introducing their 390 Linux driver series (390.12 Beta currently), I ran some fresh Linux OpenCL GPU compute benchmarks on a variety of AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards for those curious how the current performance stacks up.įor those that haven't tried out AMD's Radeon ROCm compute stack recently, the ROCm 1.7 release has OpenCL 2.0 compatible kernel language support but the runtime is currently at OpenCL 1.2. Towards the end of December AMD quietly released ROCm 1.7.60 as the newest version of their Radeon Open Compute stack complete with their maturing OpenCL implementation.
