Description Lorenzo Bertini 2023-04-27 10:31:36 UTC

sci-libs/rocblas and maybe some other packages from the rocm suite are very hard to emerge on average user machines. It is mentioned in the documentation that it requires 64GB of ram, and presumably a long time; this is out of reach for most users. Since AMD provides binaries (albeit in deb or rpm packages), could we have sci-libs/rocBLAS-bin and maybe other heavy packages from the suite? Thank you in advance.

Reproducible: Always

sci-libs/rocblas is not a package in the gentoo repository. If this is a request intended for an overlay, please indicate which overlay it is for.
