Looky here what the nice deliveryman brought me today: an AMD RX9070 GPU.

Now, all I need to do is update to Ubuntu 25.04 to get the needed drivers and the rest.

Except 25.04 updates are currently on hold because of bugs. 🙁 I want to play with my new toy... 😥

A new GPU, still in an antistatic bag, on top of the box.

💾 Quick HomeLab Update 💾

As a follow up to this morning's iGPU 512M GART debugging (re: drm-61-kmod memory leak on amdgpu.ko), here are some pics. Reluctantly, the "ok fine" method for testing the memory leak allocation aspects involves using a non-integrated GPU which requires the same driver, for which this low-TDP single-slot AMD W7500 was acquired. Sometime tomorrow it will be installed in my workstation, which is the third chassis from the bottom (4U) situated above the two 5U chassis (HCI private cloud for GPU compute VMs).

More to follow...

Panic most recently used by lkpikmalloc ...

Well, that was fast... didn't even get a mouse cursor of a full MATE Desktop menu system load. Was yet to connect kgdb to COM1 (need to swap from minicom to do so)... makes me want a PCIe RS232 card (for "comconsole_pcidev") so that I have a few more COMs to play with on redirects. Gotta love these iGPU tash-bins eh? "It's better than not having a GPU right?" ... not really.''

Closed bug report from the drm-515-kmod, discussing amdgpu memory leak. so, maybe a new one in drm-61-kmod, would not be surprised.
- github.com/freebsd/drm-kmod/is

Short term revision of approach:
----

1. Today via post arrives, an AMD Radeon Pro W7500 (single slot 8GB, Navi-whatever gen)
2. I'll block off the iGPU during loader.conf sequence, using a "pptdev" blackhole (not for VM pt, but maybe an experiment for a 14.1 VM with the known-good amdgpu version).
3. Known as: throw money at the problem?

Some hardware notes:
----

1. This is not a Nvidia GPU situation; there are several generations of cards in the room which have been cycled through the workstation during "hardware isolation" and "process of elimination" sequences. I know those are stable, and which gen cards require which nvidia driver versions for stability purposes.

2. This is not a FreeBSD kernel issue, nor a Xorg "Plain Jane FrameBuffer" situation. The kernel (14.0, 14.1, 14.2) is stable and fine, and the basic vt driver for non-4K display-port functionality works fine. I can work all day in a series of tmux windows with some fifty or so panes, but that's not quite the optimal experience.

3. The AMD iGPU (Raphael) maxes out default to 512MB GART VRAM, and it can handle 240Hz @ 4K all day with no issues as long as that 512M doesn't get used up... that is until the latest amdgpu kmod drm, which crashes whenever it feels like it.

Michael... yes yes, I do have a lot of hardware, but this issue has surpassed the Sunk Cost Fallacy and has become a consumate knowledge-requirement process. I must know where this is failing so horrendously, otherwise the operating rule of "if it doesn't fulfill its hardware destiny, it will get the hammer and flames"... and the hardware is too nice for that - plus I could involve Supermicro support since it's still in warranty, but a replacement motherboard or CPU for the iGPU isn't going to solve a kernel module issue.

In the interim, laptop life and tablet meetings are getting me by, mostly decently.

Does anyone have a collection of .dds (and maybe also .ktx and/or .ktx2) textures I could use to test my texture viewer (github.com/DanielGibson/texvie)?

For DDS I only found test textures from GLI and unfortunately many of them are invalid/broken :-/
For KTX(2) I have the ones from libktx (and the broken ones from GLI).

Thanks in advance! :)

Had fun at #CosmosDBConf showcasing “Accelerating Real-Time Analytics with Cosmos DB and #NVIDIA GPU-Enhanced Serverless Apache Spark!” We used separate CPU/GPU builds in our Maven POM via profiles, Dockerfiles for container apps, and GPU-accelerated Spark to handle streaming data at warp speed. ⚡🚀

🌘 Shadertoys 移植至 Rust GPU
➤ 使用 Rust 開發 GPU 程式：以 Shadertoy 移植為例
✤ rust-gpu.github.io/blog/2025/0
這篇文章介紹了將流行的 Shadertoy 著色器移植到 Rust GPU 的過程。Rust GPU 允許使用 Rust 程式語言編寫 GPU 程式，並將其編譯成 SPIR-V 格式，使其與 Vulkan 兼容。移植過程相對順暢，並展示了 Rust 在 CPU 和 GPU 之間共享程式碼的優勢，以及對 traits、泛型和宏的支持。此外，作者也回饋了 wgpu 和 naga 專案，修復了幾個問題，並鼓勵更多人參與 Rust GPU 的開發。
+ 哇，Rust 竟然也能開發 GPU 程式！這感覺很酷，以後可以嘗試用 Rust 寫一些圖形效果。
+ 聽起來 Rust GPU 解決了 CPU 和 GPU 之間資料共享的痛點，這真的很棒！期待未來能看到更多 Rust GPU 的應用。

I stumbled upon an interesting blog today while searching for an image of the Silicon Graphics 3D cube logo. Named "Abort Retry Fail" by Bradford Morgan White, the blog's articles document computer history. I eventually wound up reading three of them.
