Drop me if you have any suggestions. Best, Xuanteng Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: max...@maxzor.eu * Package name : rocm-all Version : 4.5.2 Upstream Author : amd.com * URL : https://rocmdocs.amd.com/ * License : UIUC Programming Lang: C, C++, DLSs Description : AMD Radeon Open Compute (ROCm) - A collection of utilities for GPGPU (hybrid computing). AMD ROCm is the current tentative at a unified platform for hybrid CPU/GPU computing. It supersedes the PAL compute stack. It is as essential as any package in a distribution if not more, given how the other GPU manufacturer behaves with regards to FLOSS. This RFP is a porte-manteau request for a package for each free module of the stack. (See ROCm doc, Arch github repo below, for detail.) Currently AMD packages ROCm themselves here : https://repo.radeon.com/rocm . They are mostly left unchecked, Arch packagers do the job : https://github.com/rocm-arch/rocm-arch . The privileged way of installing ROCm for Debian-based-distro users today is to use the AMD installer, often referred-to as AMDGPU-PRO. This latter is a bundle which includes proprietary bits. In a few months, Blender will release 3.1 with support for rendering in Cycles on Linux, and will be dependent on HIP, one of ROCm sub-packages. BR, Maxime Chambonnet
