HIP Support #121

Open bhibb opened 2 years ago

bhibb commented 2 years ago

Would it be possible for the Blender Flatpak to support HIP for newer AMD cards like it does for Optix for Nvidia? Blender 3.0 started support for HIP and it is available in the appimage from Blender.org directly; what would be required to get HIP working for the Flatpak version?

Hi all,

I made a proposal on freedesktop-sdk to get the ball rolling here: https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk/-/issues/1535

Cheers

Hello @boberfly, do you happen to have an idea on how the situation is be moving? I am not very familiar with GitLab so I didn't understand much from the link, if you could spare one minute of your time to give me your opinion I would be very glad. Thanks!

Looks like a milestone for AMD support was added to Freedesktop 24.08 milestone. https://gitlab.com/groups/freedesktop-sdk/-/milestones/6#tab-issues

Btw HIPRT seems to be merged for 4.3 https://developer.blender.org/docs/release_notes/4.3/cycles/#hip-rt-support-on-linux

This change switches Cycles to an opensource HIP-RT library which implements hardware ray-tracing. This library is now used on both Windows and Linux. While there should be no noticeable changes on Windows, on Linux this adds support for hardware ray-tracing on AMD GPUs.

I just installed Blender 4.3.0 from Flathub but it still does not recognize my AMD GPU. I'm sure that my GPU is supported because the official Blender package downloaded from blender.org does recognize my GPU. At this point I think the issue is rooted deeper, at the sandboxing level. I even gave Blender all permissions that could be somehow related to GPU acceleration with Flatseal but the issue persists.

At this point, I think that Flatpak dev who has expertise on this could only answer this question. If the issue report does not exist, it might be helpful to create one here maybe https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues I cannot really help with this issue unfortunately, I have no hardware and expertise on this.
