AMD ROCm is the first open-source software development platform for HPC/Hyperscale-class GPU computing. AMD ROCm brings the UNIX philosophy of choice, minimalism and modular software development to GPU computing.
Since the ROCm ecosystem is comprised of open technologies: frameworks (Tensorflow / PyTorch), libraries (MIOpen / Blas / RCCL), programming model (HIP), inter-connect (OCD) and up streamed Linux® Kernel support – the platform is continually optimized for performance and extensibility. Tools, guidance and insights are shared freely across the ROCm GitHub community and forums.
Note: The AMD ROCm™ open software platform is a compute stack for headless system deployments. GUI-based software applications are currently not supported.
AMD ROCm is built for scale; it supports multi-GPU computing in and out of server-node communication through RDMA. AMD ROCm also simplifies the stack when the driver directly incorporates RDMA peer-sync support.
The AMD ROCr System Runtime is language independent and makes heavy use of the Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) Runtime API. This approach provides a rich foundation to execute programming languages, such as HIP and OpenMP.
Important features include the following:
- Multi-GPU coarse-grain shared virtual memory
- Process concurrency and preemption
- Large memory allocations
- HSA signals and atomics
- User-mode queues and DMA
- Standardized loader and code-object format
- Dynamic and offline-compilation support
- Peer-to-peer multi-GPU operation with RDMA support
- Profiler trace and event-collection API
- Systems-management API and tools
- LLVM compiler foundation
- HIP for application portability
- GCN assembler and disassembler
AMD ROCm gives developers the flexibility of choice for hardware and aids in the development of compute-intensive applications.
