ROCclr - Radeon Open Compute Common Language Runtime

ROCclr is a virtual device interface that compute runtimes interact with to different backends such as ROCr or PAL This abstraction allows runtimes to work on Windows as well as on Linux without much effort.

Repository branches

The repository maintains several branches. The branches that are of importance are:

Main branch: This is the stable branch. It is up to date with the latest release branch, for example, if the latest ROCM release is rocm-4.1.x, main branch will be the repository based on this release.
Develop branch: This is the default branch, on which the new features are still under development and visible. While this maybe of interest to many, it should be noted that this branch and the features under development might not be stable.
Release branches. These are branches corresponding to each ROCM release, listed with release tags, such as rocm-4.0.x, rocm-4.1.x, etc.

Building

Prerequisites

Install mesa-common-dev
Either build or install COMGR, CLANG and Device Library

Getting the source code

git clone -b main https://github.com/ROCm-Developer-Tools/ROCclr.git
git clone -b main https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm-OpenCL-Runtime.git

Set the environment variables

export ROCclr_DIR="$(readlink -f ROCclr)"
export OPENCL_DIR="$(readlink -f ROCm-OpenCL-Runtime)"

Build ROCclr

Here is command to build ROCclr:

cd "$ROCclr_DIR"
mkdir -p build; cd build
cmake -DOPENCL_DIR="$OPENCL_DIR" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/rocm/rocclr ..
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install

Optional steps to build HIP runtime

Enter the directory where git cloned the ROCClr and OpenCL. Run the following commands:

git clone -b main https://github.com/ROCm-Developer-Tools/HIP.git
export HIP_DIR="$(readlink -f HIP)"
cd "$HIP_DIR"
mkdir -p build; cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$ROCclr_DIR/build;/opt/rocm/" ..
make -j$(nproc)

Release build

For release build, add "-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release" to the cmake command line.
