AMDGPU is AMD's fully open source unified kernel driver for its GPUs on Linux.[2] AMDGPU officially supports cards built upon GCN 1.2 or higher, though as of 2021[update] support for GCN 1.0/1.1 is incomplete,[3] it can be enabled by a kernel parameter[4][5] and some Linux distributions enabled it by default.[6]
AMDGPU has been fully upstreamed, and integrates now in one kernel module the old Kernel Fusion Driver (KFD).
AMDGPU-pro still distributed by AMD directly is reliably more up-to-date compared to that of kernels shipped in regular operating system distributions.
