AMDGPUnative.jl

Deprecated, please use AMDGPU.jl

Support for compiling and executing native Julia kernels on AMD GPUs.

Documentation	Build Status

Quick start

The package can be installed with the Julia package manager. From the Julia REPL, type ] to enter the Pkg REPL mode and run:

pkg> add AMDGPUnative

Or, equivalently, via the Pkg API:

julia> import Pkg; Pkg.add("AMDGPUnative")

Project Status

The package is tested against, and being developed for, Julia 1.3 and above. Only 64-bit Linux is supported and working at this time, until ROCm is ported to other platforms. It is recommended to use a version of Julia with LLVM 9.0 or higher. This package is under active maintenance and is reasonably complete, however not all features (and especially performance) are up to par with CUDAnative.
