# tuned-amdgpu

Hacky solution to integrate AMDGPU power profile control in `tuned` with Ansible

Takes a list of existing `tuned` profiles and creates new ones based on them.  These new profiles include AMDGPU power/clock parameters

_Warning_: Only tested with RX6000 series GPUs, it is probable that older AMD GPUs will not work properly.  Use at your own risk!

## Profiles

An example of the output/provided profiles follow

| Output profile | Description |
|:---|---|
| `balanced-amdgpu-default` | Includes the (assumed) existing `balanced` tuned profile.<br/><br/>Only adjusts the GPU power limit (typically lower).  Clocks/voltage curve remain the default. |
| `desktop-amdgpu-VR` | Includes the (assumed) existing `desktop` tuned profile.<br/><br/>Adjusts the GPU power limit, clocks, _and_ the voltage curve.<br/><br/>Uses the predefined `VR` profile in the driver.  See `/sys/class/drm/card*/device/pp_power_profile_mode` |
| `latency-performance-amdgpu-custom` | Includes the existing `latency-performance` tuned profile.<br/><br/>Like the existing GPU profiles (eg: _VR)), this also adjusts the GPU power limit, clocks, _and_ the voltage curve.<br/><br/>This differs by using the `custom` profile in the driver.  This opens up further tweaking of the power/clock heuristics through the driver (currently manual).  see: [pp-dpm](https://docs.kernel.org/gpu/amdgpu/thermal.html#pp-dpm) |

**Note**: This is non-exhaustive, see the variables `base_profiles` and `amdgpu_profiles` below for the (default) sources of the merged profile mapping

## Notable variables

These are the variables you're likely to want to change.  They are defined in [playbook.yml](playbook.yml)
