To get AMD opencl on newer cards in Fedora 25, download current
CentOS/RHEL amdgpu pro driver (17.10.xxxx).
Unpack it and then under root run ./amggpu-pro-install --compute,
which just installs opencl support
This is as simple as it should be!
Sorry, no... I'm glad it works for you, but this is a hack that
might break with the next update. It's a major advantage that the
NVidia driver is available for a number of distributions, including
Ubuntu and Debian...
I fail to see the problem and why it's a "no" and a "hack", as it is
just installing support libs as far as I can tell. It's been working
for me (RX480) since amdgpu-pro16.x using out-of-the-box Fedora 25.
Please explain how it would break, I'd like to understand. Worst
case, you just have to rerun ./amggpu-pro-install --compute
It's not "as simple as it should be", since you are generally using
Fedora package management to keep track of installed software, and you
have to work around that here and install stuff by hand to get OpenCL
on AMD, because of lacking support. And it's a "hack" since you are
using part of a package built for RedHat. This may work in the current
combination of RH version and Fedora version, but it is a matter of
luck, not a matter of design.
What is the difference whether I use a closed source software (Nvidia)
to a closed source software (AMD)? Both "hack" into the original OS to
provide additional functionality which can disappear with the next
update/upgrade of the distribution.
As far as I know with AMD I have a more reliable and powerful open
source support which promisses to be carried over to follwing upgrades.
