ROCm is an open-source software platform optimized to extract HPC and AI workload performance from AMD Instinct accelerators and AMD Radeon GPUs while maintaining compatibility with industry software frameworks. For more information, see What is ROCm?

ROCm supports multiple programming languages and programming interfaces such as HIP (Heterogeneous-Compute Interface for Portability), OpenCL, and OpenMP, as explained in the Programming guide.

If you’re using AMD Radeon™ PRO or Radeon GPUs in a workstation setting with a display connected, review Radeon-specific ROCm documentation.
