Hi All,

I've got myself one of these new fangled AI CPU's and would like to install some LLM's to make use of the new chip. Sorry if these are newbie questions but I can't seem to find a clear instruction on what I need.

1. Do I need to install Radeon TOP or ROCm? Using the command radeontop unraid reports it does not find my chipset and looking at varous guides for ROCm, I can't seem to find instructions for a Slackware version, is there a version that works? Do I even need either of them?

2. Does the latest kernel 6.12.24-Unraid support my chip? It appears to do as I can list it in lspci and system devices under tools.

Any help or pointers would be great.

Thanks

I.

yes and no.

as somewhat explained here for intell. https://forums.unraid.net/topic/183499-intel-npu-drivers-installed/#findComment-1579038

Essentially your cpu has a onboard npu. This npu devices are still being developed and may or may not be in the kernel...

You will need to find the ai npu lspci device and pass that into the docker/vm on unraid to use those additional chipset features....

you would be apart of some trial and error.

or install a distro like debain and install the necessary drivers.

Which is running on a different os like Debian linux/ubuntu and other AI oriented distros like proxmox lxc helpers etc..

to use other parts of the amd on board cpu/gpu, yes you will need the amd Radeon top drivers.

I can't say it will or will not support the chip in regard to the NPU, NPU are still fairly new and may not be apart of the main upstream kernel. However, the CPU and onboard GPU for cpu and gpu is still part of the amd ryzen driver group and will function with unraid.

That said I wouldn't recommend unriad and that hardware for an AI setup.

per post:

in time as more npu and streamline generics this will become more mainline and in linux kernels. NPU are the new GPU for specific chipset instructions.

Many thanks for the info, its given me some direction to research.

Any update on that matter?

Nope... Still the same. If you see XYZ on ls /dev /dev/accel/ to see a npu you... You pass that device into a docker/VM to use the npu...

Neither Intell nor AMD have upstream drivers in the kernel yet...
