Package: blender
Version: 3.2.2+dfsg-3
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
I've been working with Étienne Mollier and others on the Debian AI team
to enable ROCm in Debian. I believe it would now be possible to build
Blender with support for AMD GPUs by using the HIP package in Debian
Unstable. The Debian HIP package still has a few rough edges that need
cleaning up, but is fully functional. The rocrand package is an example
of a library that is built using HIP.
AMD HIP support for Navi 21 hardware can be enabled in Blender using
the CMake options:
-DWITH_CYCLES_HIP_BINARIES=ON
-DCYCLES_HIP_BINARIES_ARCH=gfx1030
There are also a few environment variables that are (temporarily)
required to compile HIP code when using the Debian package:
export HIP_CLANG_PATH=/usr/bin
export DEVICE_LIB_PATH=/usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/amdgcn/bitcode
export ROCM_PATH=/usr
As well, there are a few packages needed in the Build-Depends:
hipcc
libamd-comgr-dev
libhsa-runtime-dev
rocminfo
I put a bit more background information in my posting on the mailing
list:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-multimedia/2022/09/msg00507.html
If you have any questions or run into any roadblocks, I'd be glad to
help! If you need hardware for testing, just let me know. There were
a few GPUs donated to the Debian project for supporting HIP and it's
likely that some are still be available.

Version: 4.1.1+dfsg-3
The Cycles renderer is now able to build HIP kernels at run time. This
new upstream feature means it is no longer necessary to use
ahead-of-time compilation for HIP rendering support. I'm closing this
bug because HIP rendering is therefore possible using the Debian blender
package.
It might be nice to add `Suggests: hipcc` to reflect the availability of
this optional functionality.
Sincerely,
Cory Bloor
