I dont think Compute cpp supports Hainan AMD GPU. Not sure if this is a tensorflow issues at all. If possible please advice how, of at all, can I proceed with this issue.

Further updates:
I upgraded ComputeCPP to 0.1.4 version.
But I still have the same error. Please advise.

Hello @rahasayantan,

It is indeed an issue with computecpp so you could probably have more help here: https://github.com/lukeiwanski/tensorflow

Just a quick question though did you install ocl-icd-opencl-dev opencl-headers?
Also the issue may come from your kernel version as this page advises to downgrade to 3.19: http://deep-beta.co.uk/setting-up-tensorflow-with-opencl-using-sycl/

@Zakor I did install ocl-icd-opencl-dev opencl-headers.
I will see if I find any help on the sites you shared. Thanks for your help.

@rahasayantan : Could you share performance numbers in relation to pip-only tensorflow and optimized tensorflow? I am interested to see how much more performant tensorflow-opencl is with a beefier dGPU. Thank you ahead of time! For my iGPU, since all computation was shifted from CPU to the tiny iGPU, it turned out to be less performant. But there is hope for you :-)

@thornhale: Currently the Tensorflow on GPU I have is crashing because of Device unsupported error. Raised an issue on Tensorflow Git. They have asked me to wait till the latest merge is complete and then I need to recompile and retest. I will let you know my findings once I have GPU setup and working.

Updates: I downloaded the latest version from https://github.com/lukeiwanski/tensorflow-opencl. This one gives coredump. There are challenges installing from tensorflow's main git repo and there seems to be issues on compiling protobuf.

@rahasayantan do you have any updates on this?
