Thus far cheapest alternatives (on x86 hardware) have been based on Windows or Linux. On 12.04.2016 22:57, Matthew Macy wrote: > There seems to be some confusion about the state of drm-next-3.9.

My plan is to update DRM to 4.6 and= import amdgpu and amdkfd support. I would like to be able to do GPGPU wo= rk using HIP/HSA on my AMD cards. An ETA on 4.6/amdgpu support is difficu= lt to come up with.
