The fact Codeplay had to create PTX and AMDGCN backends for ComputeCpp, because AMD and Nvidia cannot ship a decent SPIR compiler is a testament to how little these two companies care about OpenCL anymore.

It's similar enough to CUDA that relevant projects picked up support for it, but with AMDs drivers sucking so badly, there's really no point, only Intel will benefit from decent SYCL support. It's really a shame how AMD gave up on OpenCL just before SYCL could really become a thing.

I understand that the release notes are for hardcore gamers who are very much interested in +5% FPS in some given title… but can't pros be taken a little more seriously? Could you actually document when something changes in the OpenCL runtime? FFS, people living on Windows are not idiots (completely) and perhaps would deserve to know what happens on the compute side of things. Both ComputeCpp 0.9.1 and the brand new 1.0.0.

My ComputeCpp install on Windows did just fine, but after the update it fails to compile the spir64 binaries give to clCreateProgramWithBinary command.
As far as OpenCL is concerned, pretty much for nothing.Īpart from me (and most likely many others) being infuriated by this move, are there plans to ever restore CPU runtime support?Īlso, perhaps another line worth adding to the release notes is that SPIR support was updated (removed?) from 18.8.1. I just ordered a second RAM stick to have dual-channel memory support and build and run on the CPU faster. I test PXE boot of Ubuntu VMs locally, rolling clean build repos while writing Vcpkg CMake port files, run simulations on the GPU and the CPU and play at night. So are you trying to tell me that we, who have been pushing the carriage of OpenCL for the benefit of AMD just silently removes CPU support, which has been there since the dawn of time/OpenCL? I don't recall seeing the god****ed release notes! I recently bought an ASUS GL702ZC (Ryzen R7 1700 + RX 580) to be an OpenCL devbox beast, sysadmin dream and awesome gaming rig. Any app of mine that could make use of CPU and GPU at the same time (well made load balancing with CPU sub-device to break off a part of it to manage the GPUs) now has to be made multi-platform code, not just multi-device. It doesn't have any interop capabilities, neither can it be paired with any GPUs context. POCL is a mediocre substitute, but it's not a vendor solution.

Knowing that the Windows driver lost the CPU runtime, I will definitely not upgrade to 18.30. AMDGPU-PRO 18.20 for the moment fulfills our needs, being the blend of legacy and modern components to keep things running. With ROCm one loses all interop (and generally all OpenGL) capabilities. We invested in new HW for our cluster to get ROCm support. Then came 4 years of sysadmin hell, backported drivers and what not (thank you dokomix!). Not the fact that it was discontinued, but that GCN 1.0 cards got stuck on Ubuntu 14.04. On Linux the discontinuation of fglrx was a major pain, something very hard to forgive. (I am aware of the awesome vectorizer they managed to implement, something AMD did not have the assets/capability to do, which I guess was the primary reason why the VLIW lanes had to be broken up when GCN was created.) Nonetheless it was very useful to have, not to mention it having interop capabilities with OpenGL (a topic that is also part of our curriculum for scientific visualization). For a long time Intels CPU implementation has been far superior to AMDs. This is the way we reach the most people without forcing them to buy HW or change OS.

(I still pat myself on the back how I managed to write few thousand lines of host code solely based on the spec.) We teach GPGPU through naked OpenCL and SYCL to physicists at university. It was a true testament to how awesome OpenCL is. I started learning GPU programming through AMDs CPU-only beta runtime for OpenCL 1.0, wrote my BSc thesis using it and inserted actual GPU runtimes somewhere halfway through writing up the actual document. I am shocked, still in not having a better response than the stock clinical case of nervous laughter. At this moment, CPUs are no longer supported as OpenCL device. Indeed, it was missing from my system even though driver install completed without a glitch. Dipak I was just about to report that 18.6.1 had a malfunctioning CPU runtime, it argued about an internal compiler error, amdocl_as64 not being found, which is an.
