I would've been interested, but I'm afraid my AMD GPU is too old to be supported by ROCm (Radeon HD 7950, a.k.a. 1st GCN, Tahiti). Until I can get my hands on some newer GPU, I'm afraind there's little point in me maintaining the stack. > If you missed the original thread, I am an AMD employee, but my > involvement in Fedora and packaging ROCm in Fedora is completely > unrelated to my employment.

The only x86 32-bit use I can think of would be wine if it supports ROCm. > HIP has a few more complicate issues to deal with, such as this: > https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/clang/pull-request/156 > > I think the one thing that bugs me the most is the bundling.

If ROCclr is used by more than one package then there's value in unbundling it and making it a shared library. Same for the others.
