AMDKFD Kernel Compute Driver Used By ROCm Can Work On LoongArch Hardware
The AMDKFD 'Kernel Fusion Driver' used as the Linux kernel GPU compute driver and necessary part of their ROCm compute stack it turns out can build and run on the Chinese-developed LoongArch systems rather easily.
The AMDKFD"Kernel Fusion Driver" used as the Linux kernel GPU compute driver and necessary part of their ROCm compute stack it turns out can build and run on the Chinese-developed LoongArch systems rather easily. Similar to what I pointed out a few weeks back of AMDKFD coming to RISC-V systems, a similar patch has now been proposed for enabling AMDKFD / AMD HSA compute driver support for LoongArch CPU architecture systems. This patch is currently under review but given that it's fairly straight-forward, it will presumably be picked up rather quickly by the kernel.
