GPU not detected on Linux

[jooles]

Hi,

my graphic card GPU is not anymore supported on photoscan on Linux.

Here is the message log when I try to activate OpenCL device :

2017-03-21 17:02:36 Can't load OpenCL library

Should I load a specific driver or is there any workaround?

Hello Jules,

You probably need to reinstall the drivers for your GPU. According to this log it is not properly recognized neither for the OpenGL rendering, nor for OpenCL computations.

Or if you are using x-forwarding session, in some cases it may also use software emulation of the OpenGL rendering device instead of GPU of the remote computer.

Does "clinfo -l" find the card? Having just played a lot with these.

The chain is like this. You have a config file in /etc/OpenCL/vendors
containing the name of shared library that needs to be visible and loadable.

In my case the vendor is AMD and the config file is
  /etc/OpenCL/vendors/amdocl64.icd
and it has just the string "libamdocl64.so" 

The library must be visible for the linker. It could be in location not listed in /etc/ld.so.conf.d config files. Then linker cannot find it. This can be overruled with LD_LIBRARY_PATH but photoscan.sh set its own value and thus ignores the user defined value. Clinfo should nevertheless work.

Then the library referred must be loadable. I have custom installed things and your library locationis likely different.

$ ldd /opt/amdgpu-pro/lib64/libamdocl64.so
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffe937bb000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 (0x00007f6b56957000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f6b56653000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f6b5644f000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f6b56232000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f6b55e94000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000055fe7d191000)

Hello Jules,

Maybe you find the solution in the following thread:
http://www.agisoft.com/forum/index.php?topic=6741

[jooles]

Great, the solution was in the thread. I had to download the AMDGPU-PRO driver (which was tricky for a while because the download was not working properly... I had to try several times).

Thanks Alexey and jlavi for your quick and efficient replies!

here is the new log to be sure it works properly now:
