Arch Linux User Repository

Latest release: 7.1.1. It uses 14.61GB of disk.

Issues with current release:

• libxml2-legacy is required by LLVM compiler.
• libamdpython.so is missing. Needs manual intervention for rocgdb to function.
• ROCm needs OpenCV libraries. Possible solution is install opencv then create symbolic links to the Arch Linux libraries.

@luciddream Yes, it’s a test I made to compare and test the performance of OpenCL. As soon as I solve some issues, I’ll publish it for the community. :)

@cmhacks cool, is that benchmark something you have made?

@luciddream All working like a charm. Many thanks for your hard work dude :)

=== SYSTEM RECOMMENDATION ===
Based on the benchmark results:
  • ROCm Wins: 7
  • Pocl Wins: 0
  • Rusticl Wins: 2

Recommendation:
  ✅ Use ROCm as your default OpenCL driver.
  It performed better in 7 tests.
::WINNER::ROCm

(Note: For AI/ML workloads, always use HIP/ROCm regardless of OpenCL choice)

hey @cmhacks, I just made a new release. It's very rushed but hopefully I didn't forget anything

Good day @luciddream

Eta for 7.1.1 ?

Thank you very much for your hard work! :)

@luciddream I just got lost in the infinite web of the everchanging dependencies on ROCm right now, your observation is on point.

Let me try to get time and mental bandwidth to try something better for my specific scenarios.

Thanks anyway!

@LeonardoCarvalho

But what I understand from the MIOpen HIP documentation is that, these are pre-compiled kernels and will only help with the startup performance for the first run only, it doesn't affect the ability to run MIOpen, correct? There should (probably) only be warnings about them.

I'm not opposed to including anything, just trying to understand what is missing at the moment and the best way to move forward.

For some specific projects (like vLLM and others that use CK) some runtimes need specific bindings.

The gfx1030 family is interesting because they are just below gfx11**, and they can do almost everything needed to serve models.

One fine example is https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/MIOpen/en/latest/index.html. It has specifics for gfx1030 gfx900 gfx906 gfx908 gfx90 and gfx942 GPU families.

I think that a separate AUR for each of the fast growing LLM projects AMD is maturing would only add overhead, and maybe a flag for specific chipsets would be easier to keep centralized in this one..

Hi Leonardo! Glad to know this package is useful for you.

Do you mind explaining what these extra packages are needed for? I did a little research and I saw that usually these are not necessary to run models, but maybe they are useful.

But still, if they are necessary for a certain software there might be better ways to include them (for example making separate extra packages for each GPU model)

One question:

I have a card that needs some specific packages to be added: - miopen-hip-gfx1030kdb7.0.2_3.5.0.70002-56~24.04_amd64.deb - miopen-hip-gfx1030kdb_3.5.0.70002-56~24.04_amd64.deb - miopen-hip-gfx1030kdb-rpath7.0.2_3.5.0.70002-56~24.04_amd64.deb

There are a couple more for other models, how can a flag to add them be added to the PKGBUILD?
