Rusticl seems a bit hidden for all the (positive) noise it creates. I'd like to try it out, but: - are there any distributions shipping it? - what hardware does it support? I can guess that distros are not shipping it due to some stability concerns (which I could not see so far). I'm also guessing that despite being a Gallium driver, some features will depend on the capabilities of the underlying hardware. Can I hope that my AMD APU will finally get some OpenCL support?

> what hardware does it support? That’s the nice thing about it, it supports most hardware supported by Mesa going back even to r600 GPUs [0]. So anything Intel or AMD should work. My guess for as to why distributions are not enabling it yet might be due to the Rust build dependency that might require a newer Rust version than what’s provided by the distribution.

  I haven't found anything for the Vega 8 that would run on Linux.

    ? I have had OpenCL on my 4900HS for awhile, just through the Mesa OpenCL driver. I believe my really old Llano (2011) APU even had OpenCL support. It was a selling point at the time.

      Same, it just works on my Debian powered home server with 5800H with just the Mesa ICD installed. Not that it really matters for me, I only run wgpu compute stuff over Vulkan for my experiments.

      Hm, now I have to start asking questions of my OS. For what it's worth, my Llano kept hanging up when I tried.

        You are probsbly just missing the driver, some linux distros dont ship it by default. If you are on Windows... shrug.
