Ubuntu 16.04 AMD + OpenCL + Theano + Keras from scratch (IN PROGRESS)

## Shout out to jarutis here https://gist.github.com/jarutis/ff28bca8cfb9ce0c8b1a
## install Catalyst proprietary
## sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.BAK

# on a clean install not needed but could be helpful
sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx*

#
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mesa-vdpau-drivers
sudo apt install mesa-opencl-icd

## install build essentials
sudo apt install linux-headers-generic cmake build-essential git
# Some mesa drivers can get upgraded
sudo apt upgrade

## Need to download this from here: http://developer.amd.com/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/
# because it requires a browser, you can either download using Xwindows, or I download on my mac and then SCP it to the machine:
# scp ~/Downloads/AMD-APP-SDKInstaller-v3.0.130.136-GA-linux32.tar.bz2 ubuntu@IPADDRESS_x.xx.xx.xx:~/Downloads
## install AMD APP SDK from ~/Downloads
## Accept the license and install in /opt
cd ~/Downloads
tar xjf AMD-APP-SDKInstaller-v3.0.130.136-GA-linux64.tar.bz2
sudo ./AMD-APP-SDK-v3.0.130.136-GA-linux64.sh 

## install libgpuarray
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev libgtest-dev
cd /usr/src/gtest
sudo mkdir build
cd build
sudo cmake ..
sudo make
sudo mv libg* /usr/lib/

## download AMD acml library
### mkdir ~/Ini
#### tar -xvf acml-6.1.0.31-gfortran64.tgz -C ~/Ini/acml
#### echo "###################################################################" >> ~/.bashrc
###### echo "export ACML_ROOT=/home/jjarutis/Ini/acml" >> ~/.bashrc
###### export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:"/home/jjarutis/Ini/acml/gfortran64/lib" >> ~/.bashrc

# clBlas dependency...
sudo apt install libclblas2 libclblas-bin libclblas-dev libclblas-doc 
sudo update-pciids

cd ~/Downloads
git clone https://github.com/Theano/libgpuarray.git
cd libgpuarray
git checkout v0.6.9
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DOPENCL_INCLUDE_DIRS=/opt/AMDAPPSDK-3.0/include/
make
sudo make install
cd ..
sudo apt install python-dev python3-dev python-pip python3-pip python-nose python3-nose g++ libopenblas-dev
sudo pip install cython numpy scipy
sudo pip3 install cython numpy scipy
python3 setup.py build
sudo python3 setup.py install

python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

## Theano
sudo pip install Theano
sudo pip3 install Theano

## Now for some reason the libgpu shared objects end up in /usr/local/lib and python only looks in /usr/lib by default so... :)
sudo mv /usr/local/lib/libgpuarray* /usr/lib

## Now it appears we need to install ffi
sudo apt install libffi-dev
sudo pip3 install cffi==1.5.2
sudo pip3 install pyopencl
sudo pip install cffi==1.5.2
sudo pip install pyopencl


THEANO_FLAGS=device=opencl0:0 python test.py
THEANO_FLAGS=device=opencl0:0 python3 test.py

This works for libgpuarray v0.6.9 and theano 0.9.0!

To use this to run the on-board Asus Intel HD graphics card (after OpenCL installation):

1. Install libgpuarray v0.6.9 only, as above
2. Install Theano 0.10.0b1

For Snapdragon, replace
pip install cython
with
sudo pip install Cython --install-option="--no-cython-compile"

How can we get this to work with Ubuntu 16.04 and newer radeon cards since the drivers update?

where did you find the file acml-6.1.0.31-gfortran64.tgz?
