I am a professional user of the 2019 Mac Pro (7,1) with dual AMD Radeon Pro W6900X MPX modules (32GB VRAM each). This hardware is designed for high-performance compute, but it is currently crippled for modern local LLM/AI workloads under Linux due to Apple's EFI/PCIe routing restrictions. Core Issue: rocminfo reports "No HIP GPUs available" when attempting to use ROCm/amdgpu on Linux Apple's custom EFI firmware blocks full initialization of professional GPU compute assets The dual W6900X GPUs have 64GB combined VRAM and high-bandwidth Infinity Fabric Link, but cannot be fully utilized for local AI inference/training My Specific Request: Apple should provide an official, one-click deployable application that enables full utilization of dual W6900X GPUs for local large language model (LLM) inference and training under Linux. This application must: Fully initialize both W6900X GPUs via HIP/ROCm, establishing valid compute contexts Bypass artificial EFI/PCIe routing restrictions that block access to professional GPU resources Provide a stable, user-friendly one-click deployment experience (similar to NVIDIA's AI Enterprise or AMD's ROCm Hub) Why This Matters: The 2019 Mac Pro is Apple's flagship professional workstation, marketed for compute-intensive workloads. Its high-cost W6900X GPUs should not be locked down for modern AI/LLM use cases. An official one-click deployment solution would demonstrate Apple's commitment to professional AI and unlock significant value for professional users. I look forward to Apple's response and a clear roadmap for enabling this critical capability. #MacPro #Linux #ROCm #LocalLLM #W6900X #CoreML

Hi I know it's possible to play equirectangular VR180 video either SBS or MV-HEVC. And for fisheye video, the only way I know is to convert it into an AIVU for playback. Is there any way to directly play fisheye video using AVPlayer? Thanks a lot!
