Heterogeneous Computing Special Interest Group

Mission

To encourage the packaging and accessibility of heterogeneous computing projects in Fedora and EPEL. This includes machine learning, OpenCL, and scientific computing.

Communication

While separate from the AI/ML SIG, we do share communication channels for now. If you're interested, please join us on:

Please add your name above if you want to help.

Tasks

  • Package and make HC related projects more accessible to users (such as OpenCL, AMD's ROCm HIP, Intel oneAPI, SYCL, Vulkan, OpenGL, etc.)
  • Document installation, packages, and general use cases
  • Translation of wiki pages and documentation (if applicable)

AMD's ROCm (HIP,OpenCL)

HW Support

To determine if your hardware is supported, run rocminfo 

    rocminfo

And review the lines, looking for output like 

    Name:                    gfx1201

And consulting the lists below

Fedora 42

gfx1010 gfx1012 gfx1030 gfx1031 gfx1035

gfx1100 gfx1101 gfx1102 gfx1103 gfx1150 gfx1151 gfx1152

gfx1200 gfx1201

General

Upstream only officially supports x86_64, but they are open to pcc64le and arm64 patches

Some ROCm packages in Fedora are built for all 64bit little endian systems (x86_64, arm64, ppc64le), but official support is for x86_64.

Installation

Setup

To enable access to GPU resources for non-root users, the users must be added to the video (graphics) and render (compute) group. The AMD ROCm Installation Guide (6.0.0) recommends the video and render group for all ROCm-supported operating systems.

To add the current user to the render group: 

   sudo usermod -a -G render,video $LOGNAME

To check for ROCm support of the running HW, you can install and run rocminfo: 

   sudo dnf install rocminfo
   rocminfo

OpenCL

ROCm OpenCL can be installed with: 

   sudo dnf install rocm-opencl

As well, rocm-clinfo or clinfo can be installed to verify it is working, e.g.: 

   sudo dnf install rocm-clinfo
   rocm-clinfo

HIP

HIP is included in Fedora 39 and is pending for Fedora 38. For Fedora 38, you will need to add --enable-repo=updates-testing to dnf if it's not available yet.

Install with: 

   sudo dnf install rocm-hip

For use with Blender, you might need to also install "rocm-hip-devel" if it does not detect HIP.

Intel

TODO: incomplete, take me!
