Unable to use AMDGPU.jl on RX6600

bpsomu · March 12, 2025, 10:30pm

I am trying to use AMDGPU.jl but it installs with several errors and does not work.

Operating Systems: Fedora and Endeavor OS
Julia version: 1.11.4 installed via the curl command on the Julia website

Then i tried allocating a ROCArray:

Is it because my GPU RX6600 is unsupported by ROCm right now? If so, is there a way to still use hacks to get it to run?

ufechner7 · March 12, 2025, 10:42pm

I am using this command in my .bashrc file to make AMDGPU work with a Ryzen 7840U CPU which is not officially supported:

export HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=11.0.2

A similar command might work for you.

Try:

export HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0

See: Support for RX6600XT (gfx1032,navi23)? · Issue #1698 · ROCm/ROCm · GitHub

bpsomu · March 12, 2025, 10:57pm

I used the following guide to install ROCm on my Linux distro:

gist.github.com

https://gist.github.com/augustin-laurent/d29f026cdb53a4dff50a400c129d3ea7

rocm_arch_guide.md


    Date of the guide : December 17, 2023

## Introduction

In this post, I will provide the solution that worked on my system on how to install Radeon Open Compute (ROCm) on Arch (linux-6.6.7.arch1-1) for RX 6900 XT (Should work on other 6000 series). 
ROCm is an open-source software platform that allows GPU-accelerated computation. 
This tool is a prerequist to use GPU Acceleration on TensorFlow or PyTorch.
In this guide I will use Paru as my AUR package helper, feel free to use any other (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_helpers).
I will assume you have a working operating system and know what you do with it (Otherwise Arch will be painfull for you).

This file has been truncated. show original

Which also included adding

export HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0

now, AMDGPU.jl works on Arch. Thanks. It still does not work on Fedora though.

bpsomu · March 12, 2025, 11:39pm

While the fix you suggested worked on my Arch linux installation after I installed ROCm from the ArchUserRepository (AUR). It did not work on my Fedora install even after I installed ROCm through the dnf package manager. Still looking for a fix there.

lxmota · March 18, 2025, 1:53am

I have the same issue on Fedora 41 with a RX 7600 GPU. Setting the variable HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION to 11.0.2 or 10.3.0 seems to have no effect:

$ env HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0 julia

ROCm itself seems to work according to C++ tests.

pxl-th · March 18, 2025, 11:58am

Where is the ROCm located on your system? AMDGPU.jl fails to find it

bpsomu · March 18, 2025, 12:07pm

I removed my Fedora install and installed Debian which is apparently officially supported by AMD. I followed the official installation instructions and it works for me now.

lxmota · March 18, 2025, 8:30pm

Headers are installed on /usr/include, executables on /usr/bin and libraries on /usr/lib64.

It appears that Julia finds the correct librocblas.so located in /usr/lib64/rocm/gfx1100/lib/librocblas.so, but there are some undefined symbols related to the garbage collector?

pxl-th · March 19, 2025, 6:13pm

Can you try setting env variable ROCM_PATH=/usr/lib64/rocm/gfx1100 and then launching Julia?

lxmota · March 19, 2025, 8:31pm

Now I get this:

So two warnings left. Could be because the HSA and HIP libraries are located in /usr/lib64. Next I tried this:

But I still get the warnings about HSA and HIP.

Can you find where libhsa-runtime64.so and libamdhip64.so are located? You can then symlink them to /usr/lib64/rocm/gfx1100 and retry

lxmota · March 19, 2025, 10:31pm

I created the symlinks:

root@sirius:/usr/lib64/rocm/gfx1100# locate libhsa-runtime64.so
/usr/lib64/libhsa-runtime64.so
/usr/lib64/libhsa-runtime64.so.1
/usr/lib64/libhsa-runtime64.so.1.14.0
root@sirius:/usr/lib64/rocm/gfx1100# ln -s /usr/lib64/libhsa-runtime64.so .
root@sirius:/usr/lib64/rocm/gfx1100# ln -s /usr/lib64/libhsa-runtime64.so.1 .
root@sirius:/usr/lib64/rocm/gfx1100# ln -s /usr/lib64/libhsa-runtime64.so.1.14.0 .
root@sirius:/usr/lib64/rocm/gfx1100# locate libamdhip64.so
/usr/lib64/libamdhip64.so
/usr/lib64/libamdhip64.so.6
/usr/lib64/libamdhip64.so.6.2.41134
root@sirius:/usr/lib64/rocm/gfx1100# ln -s /usr/lib64/libamdhip64.so .
root@sirius:/usr/lib64/rocm/gfx1100# ln -s /usr/lib64/libamdhip64.so.6 .
root@sirius:/usr/lib64/rocm/gfx1100# ln -s /usr/lib64/libamdhip64.so.6.2.41134 .

and I get the exact same two warnings, which is weird. I tried reinstalling AMDGPU.jl from scratch and I still got those two last warnings about HSA and HIP:

julia> using AMDGPU
┌ Warning: HSA runtime is unavailable, compilation and runtime functionality will be disabled.
└ @ AMDGPU ~/.julia/packages/AMDGPU/VTHhJ/src/AMDGPU.jl:168
┌ Warning: HIP library is unavailable, HIP integration will be disabled.
└ @ AMDGPU ~/.julia/packages/AMDGPU/VTHhJ/src/AMDGPU.jl:195

My mistake! The symlinks should go in:

/usr/lib64/rocm/gfx1100

Now I get no warnings:

julia> using AMDGPU

julia> AMDGPU.functional()
true
