It definitely runs on our AMD MI300x. But, the documentation is pretty fragmented and requires a bunch of math knowledge that I don't have, so I'm not really sure how to run it. Just some proof of working...
If someone can come up with a way to perf test this against an H100, hit me up! It seems like something that could make a fun competition given the use of OpenCL. =)
Thanks. Just some feedback. Ideally, I'd download something, compile it and then be able to just run the binary and have it start up and do something. Right now, it does nothing. Ideally, the app could even connect to some central server to get work, and just start chugging along doing whatever it needs to do.
Heading to the forums, it is a mess of what looks like decades of information. Tons of it outdated. Much of it heavy in math terms, I don't know anything about. I wish I did! I wish I was smarter! Following the "follow this first" is just a whole bunch of random information.
If you're looking for people to throw compute at the problem, you need to cater to the LCD of people like me who have tons of compute, but don't have the time to get a math degree or pile through forums for information.
Imagine if in order to use a web browser, you needed to understand every single underlying protocol first.
No, you don't have to understand the algorithms in order to use the software.
But I understand your feedback. I put it on my list to make it really easy to see the software running once you have the executable.
There is one little complication though -- you do need a working OpenCL install in order to use GpuOwl. For example, for AMD GPUs, you'd need to install ROCm. On Nvidia GPUs you'd need a working install of CUDA.
