Detailed component changes#

The following sections describe key changes to ROCm components.

AMD SMI (24.6.3)#

Resolved issues#

  • Fixed support for the API calls amdsmi_get_gpu_process_isolation and amdsmi_clean_gpu_local_data, along with the amd-smi set --process-isolation <0 or 1> command. See issue #3500 on GitHub.

rocFFT (1.0.30)#

Optimized#

  • Implemented 1D kernels for factorizable sizes greater than 1024 and less than 2048.

Resolved issues#

  • Fixed plan creation failure on some even-length real-complex transforms that use Bluestein’s algorithm.

rocSOLVER (3.26.2)#

Resolved issues#

  • Fixed synchronization issue in STEIN.

ROCm known issues#

ROCm known issues are tracked on GitHub. Known issues related to individual components are listed in the Detailed component changes section.

ROCm upcoming changes#

The following changes to the ROCm software stack are anticipated for future releases.

rocm-llvm-alt#

The rocm-llvm-alt package will be removed in an upcoming release. Users relying on the functionality provided by the closed-source compiler should transition to the open-source compiler. Once the rocm-llvm-alt package is removed, any compilation requesting functionality provided by the closed-source compiler will result in a Clang warning: “[AMD] proprietary optimization compiler has been removed”.

rccl-rdma-sharp-plugins#

The RCCL plugin package, rccl-rdma-sharp-plugins, will be removed in an upcoming ROCm release.
