I made a thread late last year inquirying about interest in ROCm packaging; in that time I've introduced a few packages amd updated a few existing packages to the latest version. Right now, Fedora is just short of making good use of ROCm, as it needs a frontend like OpenCL or HIP. I have a COPR where I've been experimenting on x86_64, aarch64, and ppc64le: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mystro256/rocm-opencl/
I would like to know if anyone is interested in maintaining, testing, or providing feedback on these packages. They're a bit rough around the edges, but ultimately I don't have the ability to be a primary maintainer for these. With that said, I encourage anyone to freely take my work as a starting point. I would also be intested in non-commitally helping keep packages up to date if they land in Fedora. If you missed the original thread, I am an AMD employee, but my involvement in Fedora and packaging ROCm in Fedora is completely unrelated to my employment. I've been tinkering with rocm-opencl to make it better to package and I have a few patches in my COPR that I've been informally sharing with the developers. I didn't try to enable 32bit OpenCL given that 32bit has been falling out of favour, but I don't mind attempting to build it if there's a use for it. HIP has a few more complicate issues to deal with, such as this: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/clang/pull-request/156 I think the one thing that bugs me the most is the bundling. Both of them bundle a static library called "ROCclr" and some older OpenCL headers. HIP also bundles some of rocm-opencl, along with a khronos header. If anyone is interested, I would like some feedback on how to tackle this.
