NET or Java, huge and evolving high level libraries. Implementing DirectX/OpenGL has been like re-implementing say. Before Vulkan, there hasn't even been an "intermediate representation-level" standard, which would be something like Java bytecode. For Amazon Linux 2: sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel -y sudo yum update -y. Update your package cache and get the package updates for your instance. Install gcc and make, if they are not already installed. The real issue is that there's no "assembler-level" standard like x86 and ARM. To install the AMD driver on your Linux instance. I think there is a perception that the closed source drivers are closed "just because" or that the licensed code in them could be ripped out and replaced easily. You don't have that as an OSS developer, of course, so your life is going to be more difficult. It makes developing this stuff easier, more feasible. Well guess what? That code gets licensed for a reason. The second is that I think people forget there's a REASON the drivers are closed source and that is they make use of licensed code that cannot be open sourced. I don't think a lot of people understood just how big an undertaking a GPU driver is. It isn't like a NIC or RAID controller where 95%+ of the features might be copy-paste from the previous gen. New generations come out every 2 years or so and are often radically different architectures with tons of new features. I mean the GPU is literally a little computer in many respects. Lots and lots and lots of code that interacts with a lot of stuff in different ways. If this something Ubuntu patched My Braswell 3150 (minix / asrock) currently run with kernel 4.3 and 4.4-rc5 without issues. They were people who'd maybe messed around with a network driver or something and said "Huh, drivers aren't that bad." Graphics drivers are ENORMOUS things, exceedingly complex. I think a lot of the people who were complaining and asking didn't really understand the magnitude of what they were talking about. ![]() ![]() The first is that writing a graphics driver is REALLY HARD. ![]()
