Package request: ZLUDA

[errnoh]

Project description

ZLUDA lets you run unmodified CUDA applications with AMD GPUs.

There was a recent good writeup of the capabilities at phoronix so I tried compiling it and running some cuda samples. Seemed to work fine.

Dependencies for building:

    rocmPackages.clr
    rocmPackages.miopen
    rocmPackages.rocm-smi
    rocmPackages.rocsparse
    rocmPackages.rocsolver
    rocmPackages.rocblas
    rocmPackages.hipblas
    rocmPackages.rocm-cmake
    rocmPackages.hipfft
    python3
    cargo
    rustc
    cmake
    clang
    zlib
    libxml2
    libedit

Additional build notes:

• as hipBLASLt is not available on nixpkgs I did comment out zluda_blaslt from Cargo.toml to be able to successfully build.

If no-one is interested I might end up packaging it myself at later date, but as I'm not that active on the ML space it might benefit from more active maintainer 🤷

Created a draft PR with my current progress. For some reason creating a nix-shell with the same buildinputs and running the cargo command manually builds fine. If someone has good ideas check the PR and the comment I added there.

is there any progress on this package request?

Actually, yes. @errnoh created a PR that was linked above: #288644

(Please create a comment in the feature request issue if you've a PR implementing it because else the people watching this don't get pinged!)

OK thank you. I'm a bit lost with when it will get finalised but great it's in progress. Thanks for your quick reply too

Good point, thought that just having the cross-mention does the trick but didn't consider watchers. Thanks for handling the reply though!

It's done when it's done ;)

If you want to help speed up the process, it'd be great if you could test the PR and report your findings.

I'm happy to help. I have no clue about testing and I only use github for nix config things.
Is there some testing documentation you can point me to?

Just https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#how-to-review-pull-requests but the gist is to build the package locally and then test that build.

OK thanks for that. I read through it :)

ZLUDA v3 has now been merged. Worth mentioning that zluda_blaslt is not supported on this release and will be added later once hipblaslt package is available in nixpkgs. Everything else supported by ZLUDA should work fine though.
