Hi Maxime, maxzor, on 2022-01-16: > I confirm that I have a RadeonVII available at any time for Debian testing, > (except for long weekends like this one!) > So far I did not use it much, only for some prime number crunching with > Lucas-Lehmer > from mersenne.org [1] :), and some jobs on the graphics pipeline. Ah perfect, so I did recall correctly! Staying away from computer during vacations is perfectly fine, several developpers do so I believe. :) > I plan to upload as much test coverage as possible on Debian ROCm/gfx906 > at [2]. > Is there a better place? > [2] > https://salsa.debian.org/rocm-team/community/team-project/-/blob/master/test_status.md Thank you for putting this together! I believe this place is okay. I'll try to keep the location in mind when running tests on my side to update the coverage. > It might prove useful to keep your RX560 available for testing as well! > There are numerous users on Polaris, that are sad at seing official > support go away for ROCm. > As far as I know, loosing official support does not mean that the GPUs > are not > "enabled" in the stack anymore, and that you cannot make them work. I don't plan to throw hardware away, I utterly dislike wasting. But if I recall correctly discussion with Cordell, I expect to have problems with at least rocblas on the polaris card. I can sure see how far I can go with the RX560 for hardware coverage of course. > Maybe could Debian ensure > longer support than AMD? > > Hopefully good RDNA2 support arrives soon enough... Well, we may provide support for little longer than upstream due to the pace of Debian releases cycle, but that is at the cost of not bumping the versions available in stable to the latest upstream, just sticking to fixing release critical bugs and make sure security issues are addressed. Your coverage page should give a better picture of the situation once tests will have been run on a range of hardware. > I just read that SKS is down and Hagrid is taking over. > This one [3] is five years old and I brought it to a mozilla signing > party once, > where it was certified by Nicolas Dandrimont and I felt like a h4ck3r 🙃... > But this was on SKS...

Cool, he's been kind enough to meet me during the signing party (or lack thereof) at DebConf 2020. :) Kind Regards, -- Étienne Mollier <emollier@emlwks999.eu> Fingerprint: 8f91 b227 c7d6 f2b1 948c 8236 793c f67e 8f0d 11da Sent from /dev/pts/1, please excuse my verbosity.
