AMD GPU Support (Windows)
For AMD GPU users, follow these steps to set up Applio using Zluda:
Install VC++ Runtime
- Download and install the VC++ Runtime.
Install HIP SDK
-
Check the System Requirements.
-
In the "Windows-supported GPUs" section, determine your installation steps:
a. If your GPU has a green checkbox in the HIP SDK column:
- Install either v6.1.2 or v5.7.1 HIP SDK from AMD ROCm Hub.
b. If your GPU is RX 6600, 6600XT, 6650XT, 6700, 6700XT, 6750XT:
- Install v5.7.1 HIP SDK from AMD ROCm Hub.
- For 6700, 6700XT, 6750XT, download gfx1031 archive.
- For 6600, 6600XT, 6650XT, download gfx1032 archive.
- Rename
C:\Program Files\AMD\ROCm\5.7\bin\rocblas\library
tolibrary.old
. - Create a new folder named
library
. - Unzip the content of the archive into that folder.
c. For all other AMD GPUs:
- Find your gfxNNNN value by searching "techpowerup your_gpu" (listed under "Shader ISA" on the page).
- For
gfx803, gfx900, gfx906, gfx1010, gfx1011, gfx1012, gfx1030, gfx1100, gfx1101, gfx1102
GPUs:- Install v5.7.1 HIP SDK from AMD ROCm Hub.
- Download this archive.
- Rename
C:\Program Files\AMD\ROCm\5.7\bin\rocblas\library
tolibrary.old
. - Unzip the content of the archive into
C:\Program Files\AMD\ROCm\5.7\bin\rocblas\
.
- For other GPUs:
- Visit this repository and follow the instructions there.
Install Applio
- Download a compiled version of Applio v3.2.5 or higher, unzip to the desired folder.
- Using command line from the Applio folder run
Set up Zluda and Patch Torch Libraries
- Move all .bat files from
assets\zluda
to the root Applio folder. - For HIP SDK 5.7:
- Run
patch_zluda_hip57.bat
. - Add
C:\Program Files\AMD\ROCm\5.7\bin
to your system's Path environment variable.
- Run
- For HIP SDK 6.1:
- Run
patch_zluda_hip61.bat
. - Add
C:\Program Files\AMD\ROCm\6.1\bin
to your system's Path environment variable.
- Run
Start Applio
- It's assumed your primary AMD GPU has index 0. If your iGPU is listed first under 'Display Adapters' in Device Manager, edit the
run-applio-amd.bat
file and change the value from "0" to "1". - Run
run-applio-amd.bat
to start Applio.
Initial Compilation
Note that the first time Zluda encounters a new computational task, it compiles the kernel code. During this time, there's no output and Applio may appear frozen. Initial compilation can take 15-20 minutes.
Updating and Uninstalling
- To update: Delete the current Applio folder and reinstall. Save your audios and models first.
- To uninstall: Simply delete the Applio folder.
