Stack Variants

There are two major stack variants available for installation:

• Pro: recommended for use with Radeon Pro graphics products.
• All-Open: recommended for use with consumer products.

Installing Option	Components
All-Open Stack	Base kernel drivers Base accelerated graphics drivers Mesa OpenGL Mesa multimedia
Pro Stack	Base kernel drivers Base accelerated graphics drivers Mesa multimedia Pro OpenGL Pro OpenCL PAL OpenCL stack (supports Vega 10 and later products) Legacy OpenCL stack (supports legacy products older than Vega 10) Pro Vulkan

You can install a combination of stack components using the amdgpu-install script, as listed in the following:

• Base kernel and accelerated graphics drivers + Pro OpenGL + Pro Vulkan
• Base kernel and accelerated graphics drivers + Pro OpenGL + Pro Vulkan + Pro OpenCL
• Base kernel and accelerated graphics drivers + Pro OpenCL
• Base kernel drivers (no accelerated graphics drivers) + Pro OpenCL (headless mode)

Note

• When installing the All-Open stack using amdgpu-install script, every component from the All-Open stack will be installed. There is no supported way to install arbitrary combinations of these components when using amdgpu-install but you can use the system package manager to do so.
• 32-bit libraries are automatically installed with Pro OpenGL component when installation is performed using amdgpu-install script.
