Software 42787 Published by

A new version of the ROCm Radeon compute platform has been released with new features and enhancements, such as a GPU cluster networking guide, revised HIP runtime documentation, additional sections on HIP graphs, SOMA, Porting CUDA driver API, and post-installation instructions. The documentation also features updated validation of LLM inference performance on AMD Instinct MI300X, along with new models and the float8 data type. The purpose of these updates is to deliver more precise guidance tailored to diverse user needs and scenarios.



ROCm 6.2.4 Release

The release notes provide a summary of notable changes since the previous ROCm release.

If you’re using Radeon:tm: PRO or Radeon GPUs in a workstation setting with a
display connected, continue to use ROCm 6.2.3. See the [Use ROCm on Radeon
GPUs](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/radeon/en/latest/index.html)
documentation to verify compatibility and system requirements.

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 changessection.

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.
