ROCM HIP AMDGPU WSL2 Setup

## Will successfully install amdgpu drivers and rocm,
## but pointless as there is no gpu device attached to WSL2 (only CUDA and DirectML is supported, not /dev/kfd or amd gpus)

## ROCM/HIP

sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo apt install libnuma-dev
wget -q -O - http://repo.radeon.com/rocm/rocm.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo 'deb [arch=amd64] http://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/debian/ xenial main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rocm.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install rocm-dkms
sudo usermod -a -G video $LOGNAME
sudo usermod -a -G render $LOGNAME

## TEST
/opt/rocm/bin/rocminfo
/opt/rocm/opencl/bin/clinfo

pytorch_directml is actually very cool: it's how stable diffusion project works on AMD GPUs: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Alshqqytiger%2Fstable-diffusion-webui-directml%20torch_directml&type=code
(in a fork though)

For Game Development I feel like you could exploit Vulkan Compute Shaders, depends on the flexibility you need for GPGPU programming.

Otherwise, another portable solution with SYCL is DPC++ https://oneapi-src.github.io/oneDNN/v2.5/dev_guide_dpcpp_backends.html, they seem to have an OpenCL backend, didn't test though.

Then apart from that, I'm convinced that nothing is mature, or not fully portable, having to fight with ROCm or CUDA seems a bother to me...
personal preference

I can mention https://github.com/halide/Halide also, which is C++ Centric, but supports a load of backend.

Hope you get what you searched for.

ROCm support seems avialable for windows already last month. There might be more people wondering this topic(like me :)), just like nvidia provide a WSL2 based solution for a long time.

BTW, does ROCm windows release make any difference on this topic? I'm totally new to ML and just want to learn.

same here, stuck at the accessing to /dev/kdf

How the hell did you manage to install the drivers?

pytorch and tenserflow did not release any distribution that supports ROCm on Windows right now, ROCm comes to windows is just "come", it did not have any actual support from DL&ML models, I think it still a long way to go.

Seems amd is working on that wsl2 support now. In rocm 6.0.6 installer, there is a usecase option for wsl2, but I haven't tried that yet.

Where did you find 6.0.6 installer? I only see 6.0.2. I would like to test that out and see if it works

However apt reports can't locate hsa-runtime-rocr4wsl-amdgpu, so I think it is not opened to public now. Maybe we could see it working in rocm 6.1?

I'm getting the same issue, is there a way to list all --usecase options?
sudo amdgpu-install --list-usecase has an option for wsl:

wsl             (for using ROCm in a WSL context)
  - ROCr WSL runtime library (Ubuntu 22.04 only)

sudo amdgpu-install --usecase=wsl gives me this:

So the wsl option seems to be mapped to hsa-runtime-rocr4wsl-amdgpu. Do you think there's an error in the package name it's mapped to?

Maybe it is just not ready for wsl yet, and will release in future versions?

Same error with ROCm 6.1.
Opened an issue here: https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/3051

where is this damn mythical hsa-runtime-rocr4wsl-amdgpu ???

https://community.amd.com/t5/ai/new-amd-rocm-6-1-software-for-radeon-release-offers-more-choices/ba-p/688840
So WSL support would be ready at rocm 6.1.3

no it's here: https://youtu.be/p1jKqV9IV8I
