ROCm 7.1.1: you can (not) build

Summary

ROCm 7.1.1: you can (not) build Issues encountered while building and maintaining ROCm packages by Luna Nova ROC m :7.1 . 1 You can (not) build. ROCm is AMD's open source ecosystem for GPU accelerated compute. ROCm is critical for blender ray-tracing and machine learning on AMD, among many other workloads. If you're lucky, you can use vulkan instead. I've been maintaining the ROCm package set in nixpkgs for a year or so. Here are some helpful takeaways for your upcoming experience building all ROCm packages for all supported graphics targets, or maybe just one: You will not have enough CPU cores 32 threads of Zen 5 are not sufficient for a pleasant experience 128t of EPYC Milan are not sufficient for a pleasant experience 256t of EPYC eng sample overclocked to 5.6GHz are not sufficient for a pleasant experience Expect load averages resembling telephone numbers You will not have enough RAM 32GiB is impossible 96GiB is not sufficient for a pleasant experience 512GiB is still insufficient to allow full parallelism Please insert $6,000 to continue Mem[ |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 474G /503G] Tasks: 571 , 414 thr, 1554 kthr; 128 running Swp[ 320K /132G] Load average: 295.80 289.35 237.34 Uptime: 08:13:57 PID USER PRI NI VIRT RES SHR S CPU% MEM% TIME+ Command Singularity detected in C:\WINDOWS\WIN386.SWP There is not enough free memory to run this program.
