I installed amdgpu-pro following the official tutorial here. I was able to check that amdgpu-pro was installed correctly by dpkg -l amdgpu-pro with ii. However, when I use radeontop to check my GPU status it couldn't be detected. I figured it might be radeontop's problem so I used other GPU monitoring scripts and none of them successfully register my GPU.

Also, when I tried to test OpenCL with this example, this came up Error: Failed to create a device group!

I am using radeon RX580 on Ubuntu 16.04

  • I guess I can change the topic, since the subsequent question is really "Tensorflow detects GPU but is not using it" – Chester Cheng Mar 06 '18 at 02:58
  • Sorry - I managed to miss the OpenCL bit. This probably is on topic here so I've deleted my comment. – DavidW Mar 06 '18 at 07:08

I had similar issue with my RX580 on Ubuntu 16.04, make sure that grub is booting the graphic card on startup. Depending on what version of amdgpu-pro you are running you may need different kernel version. I have tested on kernel 4.4.0-137 the amdgpu-pro 17.50 works without any problem. Any amdgpu-pro above 17.50 you need the kernel version 4.13.

Update your kernel and try to re-install amdgpu-pro. Here is on how to update your kernel.

For Desktop

sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-16.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04 -y

For Server

sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-16.04 -y
