Note for anyone who has a Polaris GPU (Radeon RX 5xx) debugging issues with this package; Packages that use OpenCL like clinfo or davinci-resolve-studio will need you to downgrade opencl-amd to 1:5.7.1-1 as well as amdgpu-pro-oglp to 23.10_1620044-1 to avoid coredumps & segfaults.

DVR would not open unless these 2 packages were downgraded (along with their dependencies). Had to figure it out the hard way after hours using valgrind and rebooting over and over. Hopefully someone else will not have to pull their hair out trying to resolve their issue.

Makes sense. The issue is that PhoenixMiner (and I assume Claymore too) now fail to work, immediately complaining that they couldn't build the OpenCL program, e.g. "Failed to build program: clBuildProgram (-11)" and such. Works fine with 20.40/PAL.

There's nothing odd about it, the new version uses ROCM (HSA - Heterogeneous System Architecture) stack - while the old driver was using PAL (Portable Abstraction Layer)

What issues do you have with the new version? If it doesn't work you can still download the old PKGBUILD from the sticky comment and use that one.

edit: Also check this comment from bridgmanAMD - he is more qualified to answer all questions about this version.

Enverex commented on 2021-01-13 14:40 (UTC)

This broke things for me, oddly enough it's showing a lower OpenCL version than the previous version did (2.0 vs 2.1). The driver version doesn't list PAL anymore either which I thought it did before. This one shows - 3188.4 (HSA1.1,LC) where as the 20.40 PAL driver shows 3180.7 (PAL,HSAIL).

Something changed AMDs side, or a change of build process here?

The last version of this package to work on Polaris GPUs is 19.50-5. ROCm officially dropped support for Polaris anyway.

@Recompiler ROCm packages are included in the tarball download. Also, the documentation says that PAL has been replaced by ROCm or something like that, so... idk

Recompiler commented on 2020-12-10 17:36 (UTC)

@sperg512 Where on AMDs webpage for amdgpupro does it say it includes ROCm?

coxackie commented on 2020-12-10 17:35 (UTC)

@sperg512 @Recompiler ok, so slighly contradicting answers, but in the end it does not matter too much. We will see in the long run which implementation becomes more popular. For the record, and as I have mentioned in the comments at rocm-opencl-runtime, one can add the arch4edu repo and get pre-built binaries of ROCm, without the need to compile. This would allow for faster comparison.

Recompiler commented on 2020-12-10 17:31 (UTC)

@coxackie This package (opencl-amd) only has the amdgpupro package from AMDs website. It's not connected to ROCm.

ROCm is officially on Github located here https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm

The difference between the two is complicated but you can just say that the amdgpupro stack is the proprietary on by AMD while ROCm is the open source one. They're being worked on separately. Kinda like proprietary Java vs OpenJDK.

sperg512 commented on 2020-12-10 17:29 (UTC)

@coxackie This is providing ROCm, which is basically the newer version of PAL. So yes

coxackie commented on 2020-12-10 17:20 (UTC)

I am a bit confused with this ROCm talk. Let me ask: is this package providing the Pal version? and rocm-opencl-runtime the ROCm one? Or is this one also providing ROCm, but proprietary, as opposed to open-source?
