Is OpenCL implementation open source in the PRO package?

• dragontamer 8y ago
  No. AMDGPU-PRO is closed-source. Which is partially why ROCm exists. Its the OpenSource implementation of AMD's driver stack. AMD seems to have indicated that the Open Source ROCm drivers are the way of the future. Its a sentiment I can certainly get behind (and AMD has even pushed the ROCm driver stack to the Linux Kernel proper). But ROCm isn't ready quite yet. So I think in practice, people will still be relying upon the older AMDGPU-Pro drivers. At least for the next year.
