[R-pkg-devel] R OpenCL on an AMD GPU

Hi,

I am trying to set up the CRAN package "OpenCL" to run on a Windows 10
machine with an AMD GPU (Radeon 7900 XTX).

I installed the AMD drivers (which carry the OpenCL.dll) and the
installation of OpenCL in R didnt work. So I also downloaded the AMD SDK
to set up the environment variables OCL64LIB, OCL32LIB and OCLINC. The
installation worked, but the built package was broke (OpenCL kernels
didnt execute due to a multiplicity of errors - the OpenCL set up must
have been wrong).

The installation of OpenCL was done with install.packages("OpenCL",
INSTALL_opts = "--no-test-load") trying it with and without the
install_opts option.

Does anyone have a clue?

Best regards,

Quirin

Quirin,

this is a contributed package question, so you should either use the GitHub issues (https://github.com/s-u/OpenCL/issues) for the package or contact the maintainer (me). But before you do so, you have to provide a lot more details including exact code you used and the full output of the errors you saw. Finally, on Windows, make sure you refer to the instructions posted here to pre-load your run-time DLL: https://github.com/s-u/OpenCL/issues/6#issuecomment-899114747

Cheers,
Simon
