first thanks for your all your work in Debian > I'd like to ask you the following questions: > 1. how's everything going without the amdgpu-pro[2] driver, especially > the opencl/rocm programs? Most importantly, can OpenCL work without > any non-free component? for now there is nothing like amd-opencl-icd available in Debian. so there is no OpenCL for amd gpu out of the box. > 2. how does the consumer-grade AMD gpu perform in terms of scientific > computing or other opencl/rocm applications? I have a bunch of these cart at work. It works quite well for us, but installing the opencl stack is a pity... > 3. do you think AMD GPU can be a practical alternative to Nvidia/CUDA > in at least a few applications? Yes if we could have OpenCL out of the box. Cheers Frederic
