OpenCL-AMD-Fedora

OpenCL userspace driver as provided in the amdgpu-pro driver stack. This package is intended to work along with the free amdgpu stack for Fedora Workstation (unlikely to work on Silverblue). Similiar to https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/opencl-amd/

Other functionality includes Portable-ProGL, a portable configuration of the proprietary OpenGL stack from amdgpu-pro. This allows the system to retain the standard, better performing free openGL stack, while also allowing users to configure applications to use the amdgpu-pro version of OpenGL.

Patch-Davinci-Resolve will patch Davinci Resolve to use Portable-ProGL, as well as fix an audio delay bug by installing alsa-plugins-pulseaudio if it's not already installed. If your only goal is to run Resolve, this function is pretty much your one-click (one keyboard press?) solution for the woes that come with Resolve + an AMD GPU on Fedora.

Install-HIP-Latest will install the latest version of HIP (Heterogeneous-Compute Interface for Portability). Somewhat experimental with this script.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/sukhmeetbawa/OpenCL-AMD-Fedora.git
cd ./OpenCL-AMD-Fedora
./opencl-amd.sh

Usage

The script will prompt you to select which portions of the program you want to use.

Explanation of all functionality

Install-OpenCL-Latest

Compatible with Vega GPUs and newer. Automatically adds repositories and dependencies.

Install-OpenCL-Legacy

Compatible with Arctic Islands/Polaris. Installs the last version of the driver compatible with these GPUs (21.30 targeting RHEL 8.4). Yeah, I couldn't believe AMD would make 3 year old GPU obsolete either. The future is now. Automatically installs a local repository on the system. Remote dependencies are added automatically.

Portable-ProGL

After installation, drivers will be located at $HOME/.amdgpu-progl-portable.

Patch-Davinci-Resolve

First installs Portable-ProGL automatically. The script will then edit the launch arguments of the .desktop file located at /usr/share/applications/com.blackmagicdesign.resolve.desktop. A backup will be created in the same directory, labeled com.blackmagicdesign.resolve.desktop.bak.

Install-HIP-Latest

Installs the latest version of HIP (Heterogeneous-Compute Interface for Portability). Somewhat experimental with this script.

Uninstall-OpenCL

Removes either version of OpenCL installed with this script - latest or legacy. Removes repositories added by this script. Note: if mesa OpenCL was previously uninstalled by this script, it will NOT be reinstalled. For new users, this will NOT affect the bootability of your system.

Uninstall-ProGL

Uninstalls Portable-ProGL from $HOME. The script will check if Davinci Resolve has been patched, and if so, it will restore the default configuration. The uninstallation will then remove the drivers in the user's $HOME directory.

Other

In the future, automatic patching of the .bashrc file to provide a proGL () function is possible. Keep in mind, you do/will still need to edit the .desktop files or executable arguments for whatever program you are/will be using. If you know this is something you want to do, you can manually add this to your .bashrc file to more easily use Portable-ProGL with other applications as follows:

progl () 
{
	export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/$USER/.amdgpu-progl-portable/opt/amdgpu-pro/lib64:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
	export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH="/home/$USER/.amdgpu-progl-portable/usr/lib64/dri/"
	export dri_driver="amdgpu"
}
