Change queue/pipe split between amdkfd and amdgpu

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey Felix,

Thanks for the pointer to the ROCm mqd commit. I like that the 
workarounds are easy to spot. I'll add that to a new patch series I'm 
working on for some bug-fixes for perf being lower on pipes other than 
pipe 0.

I haven't tested this yet on kaveri/carrizo. I'm hoping someone with the 
HW will be able to give it a go. I put in a few small hacks to get KFD 
to boot but do nothing on polaris10.

Regards,
Andres
