I have not seen these scripts, but can confirm that AMD has a long history of such Perl scripts. Look at hipcc for a current, moderately frustrating, example of this. Also the last time I met one of the open source driver team in person he was, in fact, wearing a classic ATI red ATI t-shirt straight in from Markham. Much of that team is European now though from what I hear, and they’re generally a good bunch.

>ATI t-shirt straight in from Markham. Curious how much of AMD Radeon GPU development now is being done in Markham-Canada, as AFAIK, the modern Radeon architecture stems from ATI's acquisition of ArtX[1], a US-based spin-ff of SGI, which was responsible for the GPUs in the Nintendo GameCube, Wii and many other innovations like programable shaders, later found in ATI/AMD GPUs. >Much of that team is European now though from what I hear, and they’re generally a good bunch. I didn't know AMD has a GPU design team in Europe. Where? I know they had a fab in Germany and they have an office for the Ryzen and Infinity Fabric R&D in Romania, but I had no idea they do GPU stuff as well in Europe. Where is that office?

  >I didn't know AMD has a GPU design team in Europe AFAIK they don't, but the Linux driver guys seem to be mostly German and Polish and such. And yeah, they are doing good work. I half-expect AMD to reboot their Windows driver from the Linux driver code base at some point.

  They had Bitboys but sold them onto Qualcomm a while ago.
