How to make AMD GPU available by WSL for use with DALL-E Playground AI Sever

I'm trying to run and deploy the Dalle Playground on my local machine using an AMD GPU, I'm on Windows 11 with a WSL instance running.

Link to Dalle Playground repo

System OS: Windows 11 Pro - Version 21H1 - OS Build 22000.675
WSL Version: WSL 2 
WSL Kernel: 5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2
WSL OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT (32GB ram)

I have been able to deploy the backend and frontend successfully but it runs off the CPU.

It gives me this warning:

    --> Starting DALL-E Server. This might take up to two minutes.

I have been trying to make my GPU accessible by my WSL instance but I can't work out what I'm doing wrong. For use with GPU I've entered the following command from pytorch:

pip3 install torch torchvision --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm4.5.2

I confirmed that pytorch is installed correctly by running the sample PyTorch code supplied on their website.

After doing some digging I realised that the rock-dkms package needed to be installed also, so I followed the advice on this website and installed it successfully - after a lot of issues.

When I try to check ROC for my GPU this is what comes up:

$ /opt/rocm/bin/rocminfo
ROCk module is NOT loaded, possibly no GPU devices

$ /opt/rocm/opencl/bin/clinfo
Number of platforms:                             1
  Platform Profile:                              FULL_PROFILE
  Platform Version:                              OpenCL 2.1 AMD-APP (3423.0)
  Platform Name:                                 AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing
  Platform Vendor:                               Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
  Platform Extensions:                           cl_khr_icd cl_amd_event_callback


  Platform Name:                                 AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing
Number of devices:                               0

Based on this response, it seems to be there's definitely some sort of AMD compatible driver available and if you look at the attached photo you can see what shows up when I try to query for the GPU. I don't know at this stage if WSL can see and/or access my GPU or not, as glxinfo can identify it but nothing else can. (Even if it gets my VRAM wrong)

ANY advice would be very helpful, I know this issue may not be project specific but I tried to include as much information about what I am doing as possible for the best chance of figuring this out.

Adding to the confusion even more, glmark2 seems to be able to use my GPU fine, possibly an issue with the dalle program and not WSL?

GLmark2 running successfully despite issues with dalle playground

UPDATE: Could be solved by ZLUDA but not tested.

Solution

  • Issue eventually came down to the fact that AMD GPUs don't work with CUDA, and the DALL-E Playground project only supports CUDA. Basically to run DALL-E Playground you must be using an Nvidia GPU. Alternatively you can run the project from your CPU.

    I hope this covers any questions anyone may have.
