OpenCL on AMD GPU

emerge -pv clinfo

You might want to emerge -1 =virtual/opencl-0-r5::gentoo. Since the same package in gentoo-gpu is the one that pulls mesa[opencl].

On that note I have set all overlay to have lower priority than ::gentoo. I then manually give them higher piority if needed. This is certainly not the normal way, but I thought to share because on my setup the virtual/opencl::gentoo get priority over the one in ::gentoo-gpu.

it also requires opencl, it's not because of gentoo-gpu overlay.

emerge -1 virtual/opencl::gentoo

I'm not really doing any of this yet, just keeping my eye on it. When some time clears, I plan to jump in...

Anyway, I just looked at the ebuild:

At this point I'm starting to wonder how I got my setup working... :D

@bronzeboyvn: You can emerge clinfo with --nodeps switch so that it does not pull any dependencies.
I'm starting to doubt that the 32-bit ABI you have enabled in your system might mess things up... But let's not go there yet. If you can emerge clinfo and then succesfully run LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/amdgpu/lib64" clinfo we know that it works. It's only matter of setting some links up.

This morning I rebuild mesa with -opencl, then tried re-emergin clinfo. It wanted mesa with +opencl again.

Then I took a second look at that ebuild snippet I posted, and noticed that its dependent on NOT using the 32-bit ABI. So if I want to use amdgpu-pro-opencl I'll have to stick with 64-bit only, at least for any code which uses opencl. Now to find out how to do that. I want to keep 32-bit opengl for important things like games, but I don't think 64-bit only for opencl is a problem.

I've built my Gentoo system strictly 64-bit. No multilib, nothing 32-bit.

And no. I don't have steam. Off-topic a bit, but I wonder how to Arch Linux etc other fully 64-bit systems cope with steam...

I have little progress:
+ reinstalled whole system with ABI_X86="64", don't use 32bit anymore
+ installed Mesa without opencl
+ installed amdgpu-pro-opencl
+ select ocl-icd
+ content of /etc/OpenCL/vendors/ocl-icd.icd: /usr/lib64/OpenCL/vendors/ocl-icd/libOpenCL.so

So I have almost same output as Zucca has. Only don't have headers: /usr/lib64/OpenCL/vendors/ocl-icd/include/CL, but I have /usr/include/CL folder where its headers are softlinks to headers in /usr/lib64/OpenCL/global/include/CL-1.2
I installed package clinfo, it still returns 1 line: Number of platforms 0
Another info: in virtual console (Crtl + Alt + F1), startkde gives output: $DISPLAY is not set or cannot connect to the X server

I'm waiting for your advise.

So I'm thinking of giving this a try, though I have a multilib system. Nothing on my system is built with USE="opencl" at the moment - a few days back I rebuilt mesa to drop it, hoping to get amdgpu-pro-opencl in there.

Looking at the virtual/opencl ebuild it appeared that it was wanting to rebuild mesa with opencl and not use amdgpu-pro-opencl because I have a multilib system. So I added "/etc/portage/package.use/opencl" with the contents:

My Desktop is building 128 packages at the moment.
After the update is over and I have edited all the neccessary files I'll be back on this topic.

@bronzeboyvn: shouldn't you run startkde within the xinitrc, not from cli? The error suggest that X hasn't started and thus $DISPLAY is not set.

Ok. Let's continue by comparing package versions:

bronzeboyvn · n00b Joined: 31 Mar 2009 Posts: 58 Location: Vietnam

Hi Zucca,

Here is my output

Zucca · Posted: Tue Feb 27, 2018 5:11 pm Post subject:

Hmm...
Now try to select ocl-icd using "eselect opencl".
Then test some program that uses OpenCL.

Did you manage to emerge clinfo without "mesa +opencl"?

I see that bronzeboyvn has used only gentoo in his opencl, no overlays. I'm at the same point. I'm away from that system, so I can't give you that comparison at the moment. I can however say that I was not able to emerge clinfo. I got the include issues mentioned near the front of this thread. Tonight I'll give you the same output that's been done by zucca and bronzeboyvn.

Well...
I've done some magic before...

When you virtual/mesa, "mesa +opencl" is one of the options, but if you already have amddpu-pro-opencl and "mesa -opencl" when virtual/opencl is installed, it won't insist on rebuilding mesa with +opencl. That is where I am right now.

equery -CN g --depth=1 =virtual/opencl-0-r5

What I see is different from my setup to your is the links under /usr/include/CL/.
You could manually change them... It might cause problems later.

Files under /usr/lib64/OpenCL/global/include/CL* directories belong to eselect-opencl.

eshowkw -O eselect-opencl

Hi Zucca,
I have almost same output as you have after remove abi_x86_32 in whole system. There's only one difference at file headers that link to /usr/lib64/OpenCL/global/include/CL-1.2/
I can install opencl, clinfo without mesa+opencl. So "eselect opencl list" gives only one option: ocl-icd
