AMD RX 480 with OpenCL 2.0

Hello,

I checked the AMD website, it says that AMDGPU-PRO Driver supports OpenCL 1.2.
http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-article … Notes.aspx

Are there any ways to use OpenCL 2.0 on AMD RX 480?

Thanks.

Re: AMD RX 480 with OpenCL 2.0

My bad. I assumed that you'd be happy with OCL v1.2, considering the current RX 4x0 driver situation on *nix, and AMD's priorities and business model.

Ellesmere/RX 480/470/460 Polaris doesn't support OpenCL 2.0 (yet).
Check the response by an AMD employee (named dipak) here : https://community.amd.com/thread/205476

Base Feature Support

• Supported APIs:

• OpenGL 4.5 and GLX 1.4

• OpenCL 1.2

• Vulkan 1.0

• VDPAU

• Vulkan support for DOTA2

• Basic display features

• Basic power management features

• KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) and ADF (Atomic Display Framework) support

• GPL compliant kernel module

• Install script and Debian packages for Ubuntu 16.04v

EDIT:

But maybe someone at/of the Radeon Extender project can assist you : https://github.com/CLRX/CLRX-mirror/issues/6
