Fedora Developers Look At Packaging Up The Radeon Open Compute Stack (ROCm)
While the ROCm "Radeon Open Compute" stack has been fully open-source for a while and in recent months even able to work fine off a mainline Linux kernel, a barrier to its adoption has been officially just have binaries produced by AMD for RHEL/CentOS/Ubuntu and not seeing these components including its OpenCL driver available through Linux distribution repositories. Fortunately, in 2019, that may finally be changing.
Over the Linux kernel releases in 2019 we saw the AMDKFD "Kernel Fusion Driver" support in the mainline Linux kernel get into good shape so that it's running well with recent discrete graphics cards and jiving with the latest releases of ROCm. Previously, ROCm depended upon an out-of-tree DKMS kernel module due to necessary functionality not being mainlined. That was a blocker to ROCm's wider/easier adoption but is no longer the case and new Linux kernel releases continue tacking on improvements to AMDKFD.
