I think that'd be awesome -- and those internal clean-ups are really
appreciated. Having the infrastructure there is nice, but I'm also curious:
are there any application-level tools that are in Fedora Linux already or
which could be packaged, to serve as a showcase for the technology?
Well I think OpenCL would be a good starting point since it's been around for a while
and lots of applications use it.
Fedora already has some of the base components already (hsakmt, rocm-runtime, llvm). For
OCL, fedora would just need:
- ROCm-Device-Libs (bitcode compiled by LLVM, needed to upgrade rocm-runtime to the latest
version)
- ROCm-CompilerSupport (LLVM plugin, used for runtime compilation)
- ROCclr (a middle layer that does the generic compute work)
- ROCm-OpenCL-Runtime (the opencl frontend for rocclr)
