Hello. Anyone to kindly assist. Am trying to instal OpenCL library in julia but getting a precompile OpenCL error. Any suggestions on getting this library to work.
Below is the error am getting: Failed to precompile OpenCL [08131aa3-fb12-5dee-8b74-c09406e224a2] to “C:\Users\path-to-julia\.julia\compiled\v1.9\OpenCL\jl\_6F5C.tmp”.

Which Julia version are you using? What is the output of `versioninfo()`?
Which graphics card are you using?
Did you try to install it in clean environment, e.g.
```julia
mkdir test
cd test
julia --project="."
using Pkg
Pkg.add("OpenCL")
```
I am not sure if it is expected to work on Windows, see: [Support Windows · Issue #199 · JuliaGPU/OpenCL.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaGPU/OpenCL.jl/issues/199)

ROCm has started supporting windows [Install ROCm (HIP SDK) on Windows — ROCm 5.7.1 Documentation Home](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/deploy/windows/index.html)
AMDGPU.jl explicitly supports Windows (and Linux):
[GitHub - JuliaGPU/AMDGPU.jl: AMD GPU (ROCm) programming in Julia](https://github.com/JuliaGPU/AMDGPU.jl)
So, if you don’t need OpenCL in particular, you could try AMDGPU.jl.
They’re a little limited on officially supported GPUs, though.

Thank You @Elrod @ufechner7. most errors i had seems to be resolved. i have one error remaining:
MIOpen is unavailable, functionality will be disabled.
when am testing using a simple multiplication, it terminates unexpectedly.

Can you post the output of `AMDGPU.versioninfo()`?

This is all I could get about the version

What I mean is that when you launch Julia REPL, execute following:
```julia
julia> using AMDGPU
julia> AMDGPU.versioninfo()
```

I tried to uninstall but the program was loading the whole time, uninstallation was unsuccessful.

Does something like following work?
```julia
julia> x = AMDGPU.ones(Float32, 4, 4)
julia> sin.(x)
julia> x * x
```
And what GPU do you have?

The point is, there are a lot of different Radeon graphic cards. Which one do you have?

To get the GPU model you can do:
```julia
julia> using AMDGPU
julia> AMDGPU.device()
```
And post the output here.
If your GPU is something like `gfx103x` then it is not yet supported properly on Windows.
