For more information, see [llama.cpp compatibility](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/compatibility/ml-compatibility/llama-cpp-compatibility.html).


#### AMD GPU Driver/ROCm packaging separation

The AMD GPU Driver (amdgpu) is now distributed separately from the ROCm software stack and is stored under in its own location ``/amdgpu/`` in the package repository at [repo.radeon.com](https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu/). The first release is designated as [AMD GPU Driver (amdgpu) version 30.10](https://instinct.docs.amd.com/projects/amdgpu-docs/en/latest/documentation/change-logs/30.10.1.html#amd-gpu-driver-amdgpu-30-10-release-notes). See the [User and kernel-space support matrix](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-linux/en/latest/reference/user-kernel-space-compat-matrix.html) for more information.

[AMD SMI](https://github.com/ROCm/amdsmi) continues to stay with the ROCm software stack under the ROCm organization repository.

#### Consolidation of ROCm library repositories

The following ROCm library repositories are migrating from multiple repositories under {fab}`github` [ROCm](https://github.com/ROCm) to a single repository under {fab}`github` [rocm-libraries](https://github.com/ROCm/rocm-libraries) in the ROCm organization GitHub: [hipBLAS](https://github.com/ROCm/rocm-libraries/tree/develop/projects/hipblas), [hipBLASLt](https://github.com/ROCm/rocm-libraries/tree/develop/projects/hipblaslt)

Use the new ROCm Libraries repository to access source code, clone projects, and contribute to the code base and documentation.The change helps to streamline development, CI, and integration. For more information about working with the ROCm Libraries repository, see [Contributing to the ROCm Libraries](https://github.com/ROCm/rocm-libraries/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.md) in GitHub.
 
Other ROCm libraries are also in the process of migration along with ROCm tools to {fab}`github` [rocm-systems](https://github.com/ROCm/rocm-systems). For latest status information, see the [README file](https://github.com/ROCm/rocm-systems/blob/develop/README.md). The official completion of migration will be communicated in a future ROCm release.

#### HIP API compatibility improvements

To improve code portability between AMD ROCm and other programming models, HIP API has been updated in ROCm 7.0.0 to simplify cross-platform programming. These changes are incompatible with prior ROCm releases and might require recompiling existing HIP applications for use with ROCm 7.0.0. For more information, see the [HIP API 7.0.0 changes](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/HIP/en/docs-7.0.0/hip-7-changes.html) and the [HIP changelog](#hip-7-0-0) below.

#### HIP runtime updates

The HIP runtime now includes support for:

* Open Compute Project (OCP) MX floating-point `FP4`, `FP6`, and `FP8` data types and APIs.
* Improved logging by adding more precise pointer information and launch arguments for better tracking and debugging in dispatch methods.
* `constexpr` operators for `FP16` and `BF16`.
* `__syncwarp` operation.
* The `_sync()` version of crosslane builtins such as `shfl_sync()` are enabled by default. These can be disabled by setting the preprocessor macro `HIP_DISABLE_WARP_SYNC_BUILTINS`.
* Added warp level primitives: `__syncwarp` and reduce intrinsics (for example, `__reduce_add_sync()`).
* Support for the flags in APIs as following, now allows uncached memory allocation.
    - `hipExtHostRegisterUncached`, used in `hipHostRegister`.
    - `hipHostMallocUncached` and `hipHostAllocUncached`, used in `hipHostMalloc` and `hipHostAlloc`.
* A new attribute in HIP runtime was implemented which exposes a new device capability of how many compute dies (chiplets, xcc) are available on a given GPU. Developers can get this attribute via the API `hipDeviceGetAttribute`, to make use of the best cache locality in a kernel, and optimize the Kernel launch grid layout, for performance improvement.

Additionally, the HIP runtime includes functional improvements, which improve functionality, runtime performance, and the user experience. For more information, see [HIP changelog](#hip-7-0-0) below.

#### Compiler changes and improvements

ROCm 7.0.0 introduces the AMD Next-Gen Fortran compiler. ``llvm-flang`` (sometimes called ``new-flang`` or ``flang-18``) is a re-implementation of the Fortran frontend. It is a strategic replacement for ``classic-flang`` and is developed in LLVM’s upstream repo at [llvm/llvm-project](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/tree/main/flang).

Key compiler enhancements include:

* Compiler:
    * Improved memory load and store instructions.
    * Updated clang/llvm to AMD clang version 20.0.0git (equivalent to LLVM 20.0.0 with additional out-of-tree patches).
    * Support added for separate debug file generation for device code.
    * `llvm-strip` now supports AMD GPU device code objects (EM_AMDGPU).
* Comgr:
    * Added support for an in-memory virtual file system (VFS) for storing temporary files generated during intermediate compilation steps. This is designed to improve performance by reducing on-disk file I/O. Currently, VFS is supported only for the device library link step, with plans for expanded support in future releases.
* SPIR-V:
    * Improved [target-specific extensions](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/clang/docs/LanguageExtensions.rst#target-specific-extensions):
        * Added a new target-specific builtin ``__builtin_amdgcn_processor_is`` for late or deferred queries of the current target processor.
        * Added a new target-specific builtin ``__builtin_amdgcn_is_invocable``, enabling fine-grained, per-builtin feature availability.
* The compiler driver now uses parallel code generation by default when compiling using full LTO (including when using the `-fgpu-rdc` option) for HIP. This divides the optimized LLVM IR module into roughly equal partitions before instruction selection and lowering, which can help improve build times. 

  Each kernel in the linked LTO module can be put in a separate partition, and any non-inlined function it depends on can be copied alongside it. Thus, while parallel code generation can improve build time, it can duplicate non-inlined, non-kernel functions across multiple partitions, potentially increasing the binary size of the final object file.

    * Compiler option `-flto-partitions=<num>` is equivalent to the `--lto-partitions=<num>` LLD option. Controls the number of partitions used for parallel code generation when using full LTO (including when using `-fgpu-rdc`). The number of partitions must be greater than 0, and a value of 1 turns off the feature. The default value is 8.

    Developers are encouraged to experiment with different numbers of partitions using the `-flto-partitions` Clang command line option. For experimentation, recommended values are 1 to 16 partitions, with especially large projects containing many kernels potentially benefiting from up to 64 partitions. It is not recommended to use a value greater than the number of threads on the machine. Smaller projects, or those containing only a few kernels, might not benefit at all from partitioning and might even experience a slight increase in build time due to the small overhead of analyzing and partitioning the modules.

* HIPIFY now supports CUDA 12.9.1 APIs:
    * Added support for all new device and host APIs, including `FP4`, `FP6`, and `FP128`– including support for the corresponding ROCm HIP equivalents.

* The HIPCC Perl scripts (`hipcc.pl` and `hipconfig.pl`) have been removed in this release.

#### Library changes and improvements

##### New data type support

MX-compliant data types bring microscaling support to ROCm. For more information, see the [OCP Microscaling (MX) Formats Specification](https://www.opencompute.org/documents/ocp-microscaling-formats-mx-v1-0-spec-final-pdf). ROCm 7.0.0 enables functional support for MX data types `FP4`, `FP6`, and `FP8` on AMD Instinct MI350 Series GPUs in these ROCm libraries:

*	Composable Kernel (`FP4`, `FP6`, and `FP8` only)

See the [ROCm Validation Suite changelog](#rocm-validation-suite-1-2-0) for more details.

##### ROCprofiler-SDK

###### SDK enhancements
 
* ROCprofiler-SDK is now compatible with the HIP 7.0.0 API.
* ROCprofiler-SDK adds support for AMD Instinct MI350X and MI355X GPUs.
* The stochastic and host-trap PC sampling support has been added for all AMD Instinct MI300 and MI350 Series GPUs, which
provides information particularly useful for understanding stalls during kernel execution.
* The added support for tracing  events surfaced by AMD's Kernel Fusion Driver (KFD) captures low-level driver routines involved in mapping, invalidation, and migration of data between CPU and GPU memories. Such events are central to the support for [Unified Memory](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/HIP/en/latest/how-to/hip_runtime_api/memory_management/unified_memory.html) on AMD systems. Tracing of KFD events helps to detect performance problems arising from excessive data migration.
* New APIs are added for profiling applications using thread traces (beta)
which facilitates profiling wavefronts at the instruction timing level.

### User space, driver, and firmware dependent changes

Running GPU software on AMD data center GPUs requires maintaining a coordinated
hardware and software stack. This stack has interdependencies between the GPU
and baseboard firmware, AMD GPU drivers, and the ROCm user-space software.
As of the ROCm 7.0.0 release, these interdependencies are publicly documented.
While AMD publishes drivers and ROCm user space components, your server or
infrastructure provider publishes the GPU and baseboard firmware by bundling
AMD’s firmware releases via AMD’s Platform Level Data Model (PLDM) bundle,
which includes Integrated Firmware Image (IFWI).

GPU and baseboard firmware versioning might differ across GPU families. Note that with the
ROCm 7.0.0 release, the AMD GPU driver (amdgpu) is now versioned separately
from ROCm. See [AMD GPU Driver/ROCm packaging separation](#amd-gpu-driver-rocm-packaging-separation).

### Detailed component changes

The following sections describe key changes to ROCm components.

```{note}
For a historical overview of ROCm component updates, see the {doc}`ROCm consolidated changelog </release/changelog>`.
```

#### **AMD SMI** (26.0.0)

##### Added

* Ability to restart the AMD GPU driver from the CLI and API.
  - `amdsmi_gpu_driver_reload()` API and `amd-smi reset --reload-driver` or `amd-smi reset -r` CLI options.
  - Driver reload functionality is now separated from memory partition
    functions; memory partition change requests should now be followed by a driver reload.
  - Driver reload requires all GPU activity on all devices to be stopped.

* Default command:

  A default view has been added. The default view provides a snapshot of commonly requested information such as bdf, current partition mode, version information, and more. Users can access that information by simply typing `amd-smi` with no additional commands or arguments. Users may also obtain this information through alternate output formats such as json or csv by using the default command with the respective output format: `amd-smi default --json` or `amd-smi default --csv`.

* Support for GPU metrics 1.8:
  - Added new fields for `amdsmi_gpu_xcp_metrics_t` including:
    - Metrics to allow new calculations for violation status:
      - Per XCP metrics `gfx_below_host_limit_ppt_acc[XCP][MAX_XCC]` - GFX Clock Host limit Package Power Tracking violation counts
      - Per XCP metrics `gfx_below_host_limit_thm_acc[XCP][MAX_XCC]` - GFX Clock Host limit Thermal (TVIOL) violation counts
      - Per XCP metrics `gfx_low_utilization_acc[XCP][MAX_XCC]` - violation counts for how did low utilization caused the GPU to be below application clocks.
      - Per XCP metrics `gfx_below_host_limit_total_acc[XCP][MAX_XCC]`- violation counts for how long GPU was held below application clocks any limiter (see above new violation metrics).
  - Increased available JPEG engines to 40. Current ASICs might not support all 40. These are indicated as `UINT16_MAX` or `N/A` in CLI.

* Bad page threshold count.
  - Added `amdsmi_get_gpu_bad_page_threshold` to Python API and CLI; root/sudo permissions are required to display the count.

* CPU model name for RDC.
  - Added new C and Python API `amdsmi_get_cpu_model_name`.
  - Not sourced from esmi library.

* New API `amdsmi_get_cpu_affinity_with_scope()`.

* `socket power` to `amdsmi_get_power_info`
  - Previously, the C API had the value in the `amdsmi_power_info` structure, but was unused.
  - The value is representative of the socket's power agnostic of the the GPU version.

* New event notification types to `amdsmi_evt_notification_type_t`.
  The following values were added to the `amdsmi_evt_notification_type_t` enum:
  - `AMDSMI_EVT_NOTIF_EVENT_MIGRATE_START`
  - `AMDSMI_EVT_NOTIF_EVENT_MIGRATE_END`
  - `AMDSMI_EVT_NOTIF_EVENT_PAGE_FAULT_START`
  - `AMDSMI_EVT_NOTIF_EVENT_PAGE_FAULT_END`
  - `AMDSMI_EVT_NOTIF_EVENT_QUEUE_EVICTION`
  - `AMDSMI_EVT_NOTIF_EVENT_QUEUE_RESTORE`
  - `AMDSMI_EVT_NOTIF_EVENT_UNMAP_FROM_GPU`
  - `AMDSMI_EVT_NOTIF_PROCESS_START`
  - `AMDSMI_EVT_NOTIF_PROCESS_END`

- Power cap to `amd-smi monitor`.
  - `amd-smi monitor -p` will display the power cap along with power.

##### Changed

* Separated driver reload functionality from `amdsmi_set_gpu_memory_partition()` and
  `amdsmi_set_gpu_memory_partition_mode()` APIs -- and from the CLI `amd-smi set -M <NPS mode>`.

* Disabled `amd-smi monitor --violation` on guests. Modified `amd-smi metric -T/--throttle` to alias to `amd-smi metric -v/--violation`.

* Updated `amdsmi_get_clock_info` in `amdsmi_interface.py`.
  - The `clk_deep_sleep` field now returns the sleep integer value.

* The `amd-smi topology` command has been enabled for guest environments.
  - This includes full functionality so users can use the command just as they would in bare metal environments.

* Expanded violation status tracking for GPU metrics 1.8.
  - The driver will no longer be supporting existing single-value GFX clock below host limit fields (`acc_gfx_clk_below_host_limit`, `per_gfx_clk_below_host_limit`, `active_gfx_clk_below_host_limit`), they are now changed in favor of new per-XCP/XCC arrays.
  - Added new fields to `amdsmi_violation_status_t` and related interfaces for enhanced violation breakdown:
    - Per-XCP/XCC accumulators and status for:
      - GFX clock below host limit (power, thermal, and total)
      - Low utilization
    - Added 2D arrays to track per-XCP/XCC accumulators, percentage, and active status:
      - `acc_gfx_clk_below_host_limit_pwr`, `acc_gfx_clk_below_host_limit_thm`, `acc_gfx_clk_below_host_limit_total`
      - `per_gfx_clk_below_host_limit_pwr`, `per_gfx_clk_below_host_limit_thm`, `per_gfx_clk_below_host_limit_total`
      - `active_gfx_clk_below_host_limit_pwr`, `active_gfx_clk_below_host_limit_thm`, `active_gfx_clk_below_host_limit_total`
      - `acc_low_utilization`, `per_low_utilization`, `active_low_utilization`
  - Python API and CLI now report these expanded fields.

* The char arrays in the following structures have been changed.
  - `amdsmi_vbios_info_t` member `build_date` changed from `AMDSMI_MAX_DATE_LENGTH` to `AMDSMI_MAX_STRING_LENGTH`.
  - `amdsmi_dpm_policy_entry_t` member `policy_description` changed from `AMDSMI_MAX_NAME` to `AMDSMI_MAX_STRING_LENGTH`.
  - `amdsmi_name_value_t` member `name` changed from `AMDSMI_MAX_NAME` to `AMDSMI_MAX_STRING_LENGTH`.

* For backwards compatibility, updated `amdsmi_bdf_t` union to have an identical unnamed struct.

* Updated `amdsmi_get_temp_metric` and `amdsmi_temperature_type_t` with new values.
  - Added new values to `amdsmi_temperature_type_t` representing various baseboard and GPU board temperature measures.
  - Updated `amdsmi_get_temp_metric` API to be able to take in and return the respective values for the new temperature types.

##### Removed

- Unnecessary API, `amdsmi_free_name_value_pairs()`
  - This API is only used internally to free up memory from the Python interface and does not need to be
    exposed to the user.

- Unused definitions:
  - `AMDSMI_MAX_NAME`, `AMDSMI_256_LENGTH`, `AMDSMI_MAX_DATE_LENGTH`, `MAX_AMDSMI_NAME_LENGTH`, `AMDSMI_LIB_VERSION_YEAR`,
   `AMDSMI_DEFAULT_VARIANT`, `AMDSMI_MAX_NUM_POWER_PROFILES`, `AMDSMI_MAX_DRIVER_VERSION_LENGTH`.

- Unused member `year` in struct `amdsmi_version_t`.

- `amdsmi_io_link_type_t` has been replaced with `amdsmi_link_type_t`.
  - `amdsmi_io_link_type_t` is no longer needed as `amdsmi_link_type_t` is sufficient.
  - `amdsmi_link_type_t` enum has changed; primarily, the ordering of the PCI and XGMI types.
  - This change will also affect `amdsmi_link_metrics_t`, where the link_type field changes from `amdsmi_io_link_type_t` to `amdsmi_link_type_t`.

- `amdsmi_get_power_info_v2()`.
  - The ``amdsmi_get_power_info()`` has been unified and the v2 function is no longer needed or used.

- `AMDSMI_EVT_NOTIF_RING_HANG` event notification type in `amdsmi_evt_notification_type_t`.

- The `amdsmi_get_gpu_vram_info` now provides vendor names as a string.
  - `amdsmi_vram_vendor_type_t` enum structure is removed.
  - `amdsmi_vram_info_t` member named `amdsmi_vram_vendor_type_t` is changed to a character string.
  - `amdsmi_get_gpu_vram_info` now no longer requires decoding the vendor name as an enum.

- Backwards compatibility for `amdsmi_get_gpu_metrics_info()`'s,`jpeg_activity`and `vcn_activity` fields. Alternatively use `xcp_stats.jpeg_busy` or `xcp_stats.vcn_busy`. 
  - Backwards compatibility is removed for `jpeg_activity` and `vcn_activity` fields, if the `jpeg_busy` or `vcn_busy` field is available.
  - Providing both `vcn_activity`/`jpeg_activity` and XCP (partition) stats `vcn_busy`/`jpeg_busy` caused confusion about which field to use. By removing backward compatibility, it is easier to identify the relevant field.
  - The `jpeg_busy` field increased in size (for supported ASICs), making backward compatibility unable to fully copy the structure into `jpeg_activity`.

##### Optimized

- Reduced ``amd-smi`` CLI API calls needed to be called before reading or (re)setting GPU features. This
  improves overall runtime performance of the CLI.

- Removed partition information from the default `amd-smi static` CLI command.
  - Users can still retrieve the same data by calling `amd-smi`, `amd-smi static -p`, or `amd-smi partition -c -m`/`sudo amd-smi partition -a`.
  - Reading `current_compute_partition` may momentarily wake the GPU up. This is due to reading XCD registers, which is expected behavior. Changing partitions is not a trivial operation, `current_compute_partition` SYSFS controls this action.

- Optimized CLI command `amd-smi topology` in partition mode.
  - Reduced the number of `amdsmi_topo_get_p2p_status` API calls to one fourth.

##### Resolved issues

- Removed duplicated GPU IDs when receiving events using the `amd-smi event` command.

- Fixed `amd-smi monitor` decoder utilization (`DEC%`) not showing up on MI300 Series ASICs.

##### Known issues

- `amd-smi monitor` on Linux Guest systems triggers an attribute error.

#### **HIP** 7.0.0

##### Added

* New HIP APIs
    - `hipLaunchKernelEx`  dispatches the provided kernel with the given launch configuration and forwards the kernel arguments.
    - `hipLaunchKernelExC`  launches a HIP kernel using a generic function pointer and the specified configuration.
    - `hipDrvLaunchKernelEx`  dispatches the device kernel represented by a HIP function object.
    - `hipMemGetHandleForAddressRange`  gets a handle for the address range requested.
    - `__reduce_add_sync`, `__reduce_min_sync`, and `__reduce_max_sync` functions added for aritimetic reduction across lanes of a warp, and `__reduce_and_sync`, `__reduce_or_sync`, and `__reduce_xor_sync` 
functions added for logical reduction. For details, see [Warp cross-lane functions](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/HIP/en/latest/how-to/hip_cpp_language_extensions.html#warp-cross-lane-functions).
* New support for Open Compute Project (OCP) floating-point `FP4`/`FP6`/`FP8` as follows. For details, see [Low precision floating point document](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/HIP/en/latest/reference/low_fp_types.html).
    - Data types for `FP4`/`FP6`/`FP8`.
    - HIP APIs for `FP4`/`FP6`/`FP8`, which are compatible with corresponding CUDA APIs.
    - HIP Extensions APIs for microscaling formats, which are supported on AMD GPUs.
* New `wptr` and `rptr` values in `ClPrint`, for better logging in dispatch barrier methods.
* The `_sync()` version of crosslane builtins such as `shfl_sync()` are enabled by default. These can be disabled by setting the preprocessor macro `HIP_DISABLE_WARP_SYNC_BUILTINS`.
* Added `constexpr` operators for `fp16`/`bf16`.
* Added warp level primitives: `__syncwarp` and reduce intrinsics (e.g. `__reduce_add_sync()`).
* Support for the flags in APIs as following, now allows uncached memory allocation.
    - `hipExtHostRegisterUncached`, used in `hipHostRegister`.
    - `hipHostMallocUncached` and `hipHostAllocUncached`, used in `hipHostMalloc` and `hipHostAlloc`.
* `num_threads`  total number of threads in the group. The legacy API size is alias.
* Added PCI CHIP ID information as the device attribute.
* Added new tests applications for OCP data types `FP4`/`FP6`/`FP8`.
* A new attribute in HIP runtime was implemented which exposes a new device capability of how many compute dies (chiplets, xcc) are available on a given GPU. Developers can get this attribute via the API `hipDeviceGetAttribute`, to make use of the best cache locality in a kernel, and optimize the Kernel launch grid layout, for performance improvement.

##### Changed
* Some unsupported GPUs such as gfx9, gfx8 and gfx7 are deprecated on Microsoft Windows.
* Removal of beta warnings in HIP Graph APIs. All Beta warnings in usage of HIP Graph APIs are removed, they are now officially and fully supported.
* `warpSize` has changed. 
In order to match the CUDA specification, the `warpSize` variable is no longer `constexpr`. In general, this should be a transparent change; however, if an application was using `warpSize` as a compile-time constant, it will have to be updated to handle the new definition. For more information, see the discussion of `warpSize` within the [HIP C++ language extensions](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/HIP/en/latest/how-to/hip_cpp_language_extensions.html#warpsize).
* Behavior changes
    - `hipGetLastError`  now returns the error code which is the last actual error caught in the current thread during the application execution.
    - Cooperative groups  in `hipLaunchCooperativeKernelMultiDevice` and `hipLaunchCooperativeKernel` functions, additional input parameter validation checks are added.
    - `hipPointerGetAttributes` returns `hipSuccess` instead of an error with invalid value `hipErrorInvalidValue`, in case `NULL` host or attribute pointer is passed as input parameter. It now matches the functionality of `cudaPointerGetAttributes` which changed with CUDA 11 and above releases.
    - `hipFree` previously there was an implicit wait which was applicable for all memory allocations, for synchronization purpose. This wait is now disabled for allocations made with `hipMallocAsync` and `hipMallocFromPoolAsync`, to match the behavior of CUDA API `cudaFree`.
    - `hipFreeAsync` now returns `hipSuccess` when the input pointer is NULL, instead of ` hipErrorInvalidValue` , to be consistent with `hipFree`.
    - Exceptions occurring during a kernel execution will not abort the process anymore but will return an error unless core dump is enabled.
* Changes in hipRTC.
    - Removal of `hipRTC` symbols from HIP Runtime Library.
    Any application using `hipRTC` APIs should link explicitly with the `hipRTC` library. This makes the usage of `hipRTC` library on Linux the same as on Windows and matches the behavior of CUDA `nvRTC`.
    - `hipRTC` compilation
    The device code compilation now uses namespace `__hip_internal`, instead of the standard headers `std`, to avoid namespace collision.
    - Changes of datatypes from `hipRTC`.
    Datatype definitions such as `int64_t`, `uint64_t`, `int32_t`, and `uint32_t`, etc. are removed to avoid any potential conflicts in some applications. HIP now uses internal datatypes instead, prefixed with `__hip`, for example, `__hip_int64_t`.
* HIP header clean up
    - Usage of STD headers, HIP header files only include necessary STL headers.
    - Deprecated structure `HIP_MEMSET_NODE_PARAMS` is removed. Developers can use the definition `hipMemsetParams` instead.
* API signature/struct changes
    - API signatures are adjusted in some APIs to match corresponding CUDA APIs. Impacted APIs are as folloing:
      * `hiprtcCreateProgram`
      * `hiprtcCompileProgram`
      * `hipMemcpyHtoD`
      * `hipCtxGetApiVersion`
    - HIP struct change in `hipMemsetParams`, it is updated and compatible with CUDA.
    - HIP vector constructor change in `hipComplex` initialization now generates correct values. The affected constructors will be small vector types such as `float2`, `int4`, etc.
* Stream Capture updates
    - Restricted stream capture mode, it is made in HIP APIs via adding the macro `CHECK_STREAM_CAPTURE_SUPPORTED ()`.
In the previous HIP enumeration `hipStreamCaptureMode`, three capture modes were defined. With checking in the macro, the only supported stream capture mode is now `hipStreamCaptureModeRelaxed`. The rest are not supported, and the macro will return `hipErrorStreamCaptureUnsupported`. This update involves the following APIs, which is allowed only in relaxed stream capture mode:
      * `hipMallocManaged`
      * `hipMemAdvise`
    - Checks stream capture mode, the following APIs check the stream capture mode and return error codes to match the behavior of CUDA.
      * `hipLaunchCooperativeKernelMultiDevice`
      * `hipEventQuery`
      * `hipStreamAddCallback`
    - Returns error during stream capture. The following HIP APIs now returns specific error `hipErrorStreamCaptureUnsupported` on the AMD platform, but not always `hipSuccess`, to match behavior with CUDA:
      * `hipDeviceSetMemPool`
      * `hipMemPoolCreate`
      * `hipMemPoolDestroy`
      * `hipDeviceSetSharedMemConfig`
      * `hipDeviceSetCacheConfig`
      * `hipMemcpyWithStream`
* Error code update
Returned error/value codes are updated in the following HIP APIs to match the corresponding CUDA APIs.
    - Module Management Related APIs:
      * `hipModuleLaunchKernel`
      * `hipExtModuleLaunchKernel`
      * `hipExtLaunchKernel`
      * `hipDrvLaunchKernelEx`
      * `hipLaunchKernel`
      * `hipLaunchKernelExC`
      * `hipModuleLaunchCooperativeKernel`
      * `hipModuleLoad`
    - Texture Management Related APIs:
The following APIs update the return codes to match the behavior with CUDA:
      * `hipTexObjectCreate`, supports zero width and height for 2D image. If either is zero, will not return `false`.
      * `hipBindTexture2D`, adds extra check, if pointer for texture reference or device is NULL, returns `hipErrorNotFound`.
      * `hipBindTextureToArray`, if any NULL pointer is input for texture object, resource descriptor, or texture descriptor, returns error `hipErrorInvalidChannelDescriptor`, instead of `hipErrorInvalidValue`.
      * `hipGetTextureAlignmentOffset`, adds a return code `hipErrorInvalidTexture` when the texture reference pointer is NULL.
    - Cooperative Group Related APIs, more calidations are added in the following API implementation:
      * `hipLaunchCooperativeKernelMultiDevice`
      * `hipLaunchCooperativeKernel`
* Invalid stream input parameter handling
In order to match the CUDA runtime behavior more closely, HIP APIs with streams passed as input parameters no longer check the stream validity. Previously, the HIP runtime returned an error code `hipErrorContextIsDestroyed` if the stream was invalid. In CUDA version 12 and later, the equivalent behavior is to raise a segmentation fault. HIP runtime now matches the CUDA by causing a segmentation fault. The list of APIs impacted by this change are as follows:
    - Stream Management Related APIs
      * `hipStreamGetCaptureInfo`
      * `hipStreamGetPriority`
      * `hipStreamGetFlags`
      * `hipStreamDestroy`
      * `hipStreamAddCallback`
      * `hipStreamQuery`
      * `hipLaunchHostFunc`
    - Graph Management Related APIs
      * `hipGraphUpload`
      * `hipGraphLaunch`
      * `hipStreamBeginCaptureToGraph`
      * `hipStreamBeginCapture`
      * `hipStreamIsCapturing`
      * `hipStreamGetCaptureInfo`
      * `hipGraphInstantiateWithParams`
    - Memory Management Related APIs
      * `hipMemcpyPeerAsync`
      * `hipMemcpy2DValidateParams`
      * `hipMallocFromPoolAsync`
      * `hipFreeAsync`
      * `hipMallocAsync`
      * `hipMemcpyAsync`
      * `hipMemcpyToSymbolAsync`
      * `hipStreamAttachMemAsync`
      * `hipMemPrefetchAsync`
      * `hipDrvMemcpy3D`
      * `hipDrvMemcpy3DAsync`
      * `hipDrvMemcpy2DUnaligned`
      * `hipMemcpyParam2D`
      * `hipMemcpyParam2DAsync`
      * `hipMemcpy2DArrayToArray`
      * `hipMemcpy2D`
      * `hipMemcpy2DAsync`
      * `hipDrvMemcpy2DUnaligned`
      * `hipMemcpy3D`
    - Event Management Related APIs
      * `hipEventRecord`
      * `hipEventRecordWithFlags`

##### Optimized

HIP runtime has the following functional improvements which improves runtime performance and user experience:

* Reduced usage of the lock scope in events and kernel handling.
    - Switches to `shared_mutex` for event validation, uses `std::unique_lock` in HIP runtime to create/destroy event, instead of `scopedLock`.
    - Reduces the `scopedLock` in handling of kernel execution. HIP runtime now calls `scopedLock` during kernel binary creation/initialization, doesn't call it again during kernel vector iteration before launch.
* Implementation of unifying managed buffer and kernel argument buffer so HIP runtime doesn't need to create/load a separate kernel argument buffer.
* Refactored memory validation, creates a unique function to validate a variety of memory copy operations.
* Improved kernel logging using demangling shader names.
* Advanced support for SPIRV, now kernel compilation caching is enabled by default. This feature is controlled by the environment variable `AMD_COMGR_CACHE`, for details, see [hip_rtc document](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/HIP/en/latest/how-to/hip_rtc.html).
* Programmatic support for scratch limits on the AMD Instinct MI300 and MI350 Series up GPU devices. More enumeration values were added in `hipLimit_t` as following:
   - `hipExtLimitScratchMin`, minimum allowed value in bytes for scratch limit on the device.
   - `hipExtLimitScratchMax`, maximum allowed value in bytes for scratch limit on the device.
   - `hipExtLimitScratchCurrent`, current scratch limit threshold in bytes on the device. Must be between the value `hipExtLimitScratchMin` and `hipExtLimitScratchMax`.
 Developers can now use the environment variable `HSA_SCRATCH_SINGLE_LIMIT_ASYNC` to change the default allocation size with expected scratch limit in ROCR runtime. On top of it, this value can also be overwritten programmatically in the application using the HIP API `hipDeviceSetLimit(hipExtLimitScratchCurrent, value)` to reset the scratch limit value.
* HIP runtime now enables peer-to-peer (P2P) memory copies to utilize all available SDMA engines, rather than being limited to a single engine. It also selects the best engine first to give optimal bandwidth.
* Improved launch latency for `D2D` copies and `memset` on MI300 Series.
* Introduced a threshold to handle the command submission patch to the GPU device(s), considering the synchronization with CPU, for performance improvement.

##### Resolved issues

* Error of "unable to find modules" in HIP clean up for code object module.
* The issue of incorrect return error `hipErrorNoDevice`, when a crash occurred on GPU device due to illegal operation or memory violation. HIP runtime now handles the failure on the GPU side properly and reports the precise error code based on the last error seen on the GPU.
* Failures in some framework test applications, HIP runtime fixed the bug in retrieving a memory object from the IPC memory handle.
* A crash in TensorFlow related application. HIP runtime now combines multiple definitions of `callbackQueue` into a single function, in case of an exception, passes its handler to the application and provides corresponding error code.
* Fixed issue of handling the kernel parameters for the graph launch.
* Failures in roc-obj tools. HIP runtime now makes `DEPRECATED` message in roc-obj tools as `STDERR`.
* Support of `hipDeviceMallocContiguous` flags in `hipExtMallocWithFlags()`. It now enables `HSA_AMD_MEMORY_POOL_CONTIGUOUS_FLAG` in the memory pool allocation on GPU device.
* Compilation failure, HIP runtime refactored the vector type alignment with `__hip_vec_align_v`.
* A numerical error/corruption found in Pytorch  during graph replay. HIP runtime fixed the input sizes of kernel launch dimensions in hipExtModuleLaunchKernel for the execution of hipGraph capture.
* A crash during kernel execution in a customer application. The structure of kernel arguments was updated via adding the size of kernel arguments, and HIP runtime does validation before launch kernel with the structured arguments.
* Compilation error when using bfloat16 functions. HIP runtime removed the anonymous namespace from FP16 functions to resolve this issue.

##### Known issues

* `hipLaunchHostFunc` returns an error during stream capture. Any application using `hipLaunchHostFunc` might fail to capture graphs during stream capture, instead, it returns `hipErrorStreamCaptureUnsupported`.

##### Added

* Stream-K GEMM support has been enabled for the `FP32`, `FP16`, `BF16`, `FP8`, and `BF8` data types on the Instinct MI300A APU. To activate this feature, set the `TENSILE_SOLUTION_SELECTION_METHOD` environment variable to `2`, for example, `export TENSILE_SOLUTION_SELECTION_METHOD=2`.
* Fused Swish/SiLU GEMM (enabled by ``HIPBLASLT_EPILOGUE_SWISH_EXT`` and ``HIPBLASLT_EPILOGUE_SWISH_BIAS_EXT``).
* Support for ``HIPBLASLT_EPILOGUE_GELU_AUX_BIAS`` for gfx942.

* ``HIPBLASLT_ORDER_COL16_4R16`` and ``HIPBLASLT_ORDER_COL16_4R8`` to ``hipblasLtOrder_t`` to support `FP16`/`BF16` swizzle GEMM and `FP8` / `BF8` swizzle GEMM respectively.
* TF32 emulation on gfx950.
* Support for `FP6`, `BF6`, and `FP4` on gfx950.
* Support for block scaling by setting `HIPBLASLT_MATMUL_DESC_A_SCALE_MODE` and `HIPBLASLT_MATMUL_DESC_B_SCALE_MODE` to `HIPBLASLT_MATMUL_MATRIX_SCALE_VEC32_UE8M0`.

##### Changed

* The non-V2 APIs (``GemmPreference``, ``GemmProblemType``, ``GemmEpilogue``, ``GemmTuning``, ``GemmInputs``) in the cpp header are now the same as the V2 APIs (``GemmPreferenceV2``, ``GemmProblemTypeV2``, ``GemmEpilogueV2``, ``GemmTuningV2``, ``GemmInputsV2``). The original non-V2 APIs are removed.

##### Removed

* ``HIPBLASLT_MATMUL_DESC_A_SCALE_POINTER_VEC_EXT`` and ``HIPBLASLT_MATMUL_DESC_B_SCALE_POINTER_VEC_EXT`` are removed. Use the ``HIPBLASLT_MATMUL_DESC_A_SCALE_MODE`` and ``HIPBLASLT_MATMUL_DESC_B_SCALE_MODE`` attributes to set scalar (``HIPBLASLT_MATMUL_MATRIX_SCALE_SCALAR_32F``) or vector (``HIPBLASLT_MATMUL_MATRIX_SCALE_OUTER_VEC_32F``) attributes.
* The `hipblasltExtAMaxWithScale` API is removed.

##### Optimized

* Improved performance for 8-bit (`FP8` / `BF8` / `I8`) NN/NT cases by adding ``s_delay_alu`` to reduce stalls from dependent ALU operations on gfx12+.

#### **hipCUB** (4.0.0)

##### Added

* A new cmake option, `BUILD_OFFLOAD_COMPRESS`. When hipCUB is built with this option enabled, the `--offload-compress` switch is passed to the compiler. This causes the compiler to compress the binary that it generates. Compression can be useful in cases where you are compiling for a large number of targets, since this often results in a large binary. Without compression, in some cases, the generated binary may become so large that symbols are placed out of range, resulting in linking errors. The new `BUILD_OFFLOAD_COMPRESS` option is set to `ON` by default.
* Single pass operators in `agent/single_pass_scan_operators.hpp` which contains the following API:
  * `BlockScanRunningPrefixOp`
  * `ScanTileStatus`
  * `ScanTileState`
  * `ReduceByKeyScanTileState`
  * `TilePrefixCallbackOp`
* Support for gfx950.
* An overload of `BlockScan::InclusiveScan` that accepts an initial value to seed the scan.
* An overload of `WarpScan::InclusiveScan` that accepts an initial value to seed the scan.
* `UnrolledThreadLoad`, `UnrolledCopy`, and `ThreadLoadVolatilePointer` were added to align hipCUB with CUB.
* `ThreadStoreVolatilePtr` and the `IterateThreadStore` struct were added to align hipCUB with CUB.
* `hipcub::InclusiveScanInit` for CUB parity.

##### Changed

* The CUDA backend now requires CUB, Thrust, and libcu++ 2.7.0. If they aren't found, they will be downloaded from the CUDA CCCL repository.
* Updated `thread_load` and `thread_store` to align hipCUB with CUB.
* All kernels now have hidden symbol visibility. All symbols now have inline namespaces that include the library version, (for example, `hipcub::HIPCUB_300400_NS::symbol` instead of `hipcub::symbol`), letting the user link multiple libraries built with different versions of hipCUB.
* Modified the broadcast kernel in warp scan benchmarks. The reported performance may be different to previous versions.
* The `hipcub::detail::accumulator_t` in rocPRIM backend has been changed to utilise `rocprim::accumulator_t`.
* The usage of `rocprim::invoke_result_binary_op_t` has been replaced with `rocprim::accumulator_t`.

##### Removed

* The AMD GPU targets `gfx803` and `gfx900` are no longer built by default. If you want to build for these architectures, specify them explicitly in the `AMDGPU_TARGETS` cmake option.
* Deprecated `hipcub::AsmThreadLoad` is removed, use `hipcub::ThreadLoad` instead.
* Deprecated `hipcub::AsmThreadStore` is removed, use `hipcub::ThreadStore` instead.
* Deprecated `BlockAdjacentDifference::FlagHeads`, `BlockAdjacentDifference::FlagTails` and `BlockAdjacentDifference::FlagHeadsAndTails` have been removed.
* This release removes support for custom builds on gfx940 and gfx941.
* Removed C++14 support. Only C++17 is supported.

##### Resolved issues

* Fixed an issue where `Sort(keys, compare_op, valid_items, oob_default)` in `block_merge_sort.hpp` would not fill in elements that are out of range (items after `valid_items`) with `oob_default`.
* Fixed an issue where `ScatterToStripedFlagged` in `block_exhange.hpp` was calling the wrong function.

##### Known issues

* `BlockAdjacentDifference::FlagHeads`, `BlockAdjacentDifference::FlagTails` and `BlockAdjacentDifference::FlagHeadsAndTails` have been removed from hipCUB's CUB backend. They were already deprecated as of version 2.12.0 of hipCUB and they were removed from CCCL (CUB) as of CCCL's 2.6.0 release.
* `BlockScan::InclusiveScan` for the CUDA backend does not compute the block aggregate correctly when passing an initial value parameter. This behavior is not matched by the AMD backend.

##### Upcoming changes

* `BlockAdjacentDifference::FlagHeads`, `BlockAdjacentDifference::FlagTails` and `BlockAdjacentDifference::FlagHeadsAndTails` were deprecated as of version 2.12.0 of hipCUB, and will be removed from the rocPRIM backend in a future release for the next ROCm major version (ROCm 7.0.0).

#### **hipRAND** (3.0.0)

##### Added

* Support for gfx950.

##### Changed

* Deprecated the hipRAND Fortran API in favor of hipfort.

##### Removed
  
* Removed C++14 support, so only C++17 is supported.

#### **hipSOLVER** (3.0.0)

##### Added

* Added compatibility-only functions:
  * csrlsvqr
    * `hipsolverSpCcsrlsvqr`, `hipsolverSpZcsrlsvqr`

##### Resolved issues
  
* Corrected the value of `lwork` returned by various `bufferSize` functions to be consistent with CUDA cuSOLVER. The following functions now return `lwork` so that the workspace size (in bytes) is `sizeof(T) * lwork`, rather than `lwork`. To restore the original behavior, set the environment variable `HIPSOLVER_BUFFERSIZE_RETURN_BYTES`.
  * `hipsolverXorgbr_bufferSize`, `hipsolverXorgqr_bufferSize`, `hipsolverXorgtr_bufferSize`, `hipsolverXormqr_bufferSize`, `hipsolverXormtr_bufferSize`, `hipsolverXgesvd_bufferSize`, `hipsolverXgesvdj_bufferSize`, `hipsolverXgesvdBatched_bufferSize`, `hipsolverXgesvdaStridedBatched_bufferSize`, `hipsolverXsyevd_bufferSize`, `hipsolverXsyevdx_bufferSize`, `hipsolverXsyevj_bufferSize`, `hipsolverXsyevjBatched_bufferSize`, `hipsolverXsygvd_bufferSize`, `hipsolverXsygvdx_bufferSize`, `hipsolverXsygvj_bufferSize`, `hipsolverXsytrd_bufferSize`, `hipsolverXsytrf_bufferSize`.

#### **hipSPARSE** (4.0.1)

##### Added

* `int8`, `int32`, and `float16` data types to `hipDataTypeToHCCDataType` so that sparse matrix descriptors can be used with them.
* Half float mixed precision to `hipsparseAxpby` where X and Y use `float16` and the result and compute type use `float`.
* Half float mixed precision to `hipsparseSpVV` where X and Y use `float16` and the result and compute type use `float`.

* Fixed a compilation [issue](https://github.com/ROCm/hipSPARSE/issues/555) related to using `std::filesystem` and C++14.
* Fixed an issue where the clients-common package was empty by moving the `hipsparse_clientmatrices.cmake` and `hipsparse_mtx2csr` files to it.

##### Known issues
  
* In `hipsparseSpSM_solve()`, the external buffer is passed as a parameter. This does not match the CUDA cuSPARSE API. This extra external buffer parameter will be removed in a future release. For now, this extra parameter can be ignored and nullptr passed in because it is unused internally.

#### **hipSPARSELt** (0.2.4)

##### Added

* Support for the LLVM target gfx950.
* Support for the following data type combinations for the LLVM target gfx950:
  * `FP8`(E4M3) inputs, `F32` output, and `F32` Matrix Core accumulation.

##### Changed

* Removed architecture support for gfx940 and gfx941.
* Generalized opaque buffer for any descriptor.
* Replaced `hipDataType` with `hiptensorDataType_t` for all supported types, for example, `HIP_R_32F` to `HIPTENSOR_R_32F`.
* Replaced `hiptensorComputeType_t` with `hiptensorComputeDescriptor_t` for all supported types.

* `llvm-flang`, AMD's next-generation Fortran compiler. It's a re-implementation of the Fortran frontend that can be found at `llvm/llvm-project/flang` on GitHub.
* Comgr support for an in-memory virtual file system (VFS) for storing temporary files generated during intermediate compilation steps to improve performance in the device library link step.
* Compiler support of a new target-specific builtin `__builtin_amdgcn_processor_is` for late or deferred queries of the current target processor, and  `__builtin_amdgcn_is_invocable` to determine the current target processor ability to invoke a particular builtin. 
* HIPIFY support for CUDA 12.9.1 APIs. Added support for all new device and host APIs, including FP4, FP6, and FP128, and support for the corresponding ROCm HIP equivalents.

##### Changed

* Fixed a name typo that caused kernel mismatches and long startup times.

#### **MIVisionX** (3.3.0)

##### Added

* Support to enable/disable BatchPD code in VX_RPP extensions by checking the RPP_LEGACY_SUPPORT flag.

##### Changed

* VX_RPP extension: Version 3.1.0 release.
* Update the parameters and kernel API of Blur, Fog, Jitter, LensCorrection, Rain, Pixelate, Vignette and ResizeCrop wrt tensor kernels replacing the legacy BatchPD API calls in VX_RPP extensions.

##### Known issues

#### **RCCL** (2.26.6)

##### Added

* Support for the extended fine-grained system memory pool.
* Support for gfx950.
* Support for `unroll=1` in device-code generation to improve performance.
* Set a default of 112 channels for a single node with `8 * gfx950`.
* Enabled LL128 protocol on the gfx950.
* The ability to choose the unroll factor at runtime using `RCCL_UNROLL_FACTOR`. This can be set at runtime to 1, 2, or 4. This change currently increases compilation and linking time because it triples the number of kernels generated.
* Added MSCCL support for AllGather multinode on the gfx942 and gfx950 (for instance, 16 and 32 GPUs). To enable this feature, set the environment variable `RCCL_MSCCL_FORCE_ENABLE=1`. The maximum message size for MSCCL AllGather usage is `12292 * sizeof(datatype) * nGPUs`.
* Thread thresholds for LL/LL128 are selected in Tuning Models for the AMD Instinct MI300X. This impacts the number of channels used for AllGather and ReduceScatter. The channel tuning model is bypassed if `NCCL_THREAD_THRESHOLDS`, `NCCL_MIN_NCHANNELS`, or `NCCL_MAX_NCHANNELS` are set.
* Multi-node tuning for AllGather, AllReduce, and ReduceScatter that leverages LL/LL64/LL128 protocols to use nontemporal vector load/store for tunable message size ranges.
* LL/LL128 usage ranges for AllReduce, AllGather, and ReduceScatter are part of the tuning models, which enable architecture-specific tuning in conjunction with the existing Rome Models scheme in RCCL.
* Two new APIs are exposed as part of an initiative to separate RCCL code. These APIs are `rcclGetAlgoInfo` and `rcclFuncMaxSendRecvCount`. However, user-level invocation requires that RCCL be built with `RCCL_EXPOSE_STATIC` enabled.

##### Changed

* Compatibility with NCCL 2.23.4.
* Compatibility with NCCL 2.24.3.
* Compatibility with NCCL 2.25.1.
* Compatibility with NCCL 2.26.6.

##### Resolved issues

* Resolved an issue when using more than 64 channels when multiple collectives are used in the same `ncclGroup()` call.
* Fixed unit test failures in tests ending with the `ManagedMem` and `ManagedMemGraph` suffixes.
* Fixed a suboptimal algorithmic switching point for AllReduce on the AMD Instinct MI300X.
* Fixed the known issue "When splitting a communicator using `ncclCommSplit` in some GPU configurations, MSCCL initialization can cause a segmentation fault" with a design change to use `comm` instead of `rank` for `mscclStatus`. The global map for `comm` to `mscclStatus` is still not thread safe but should be explicitly handled by mutexes for read-write operations. This is tested for correctness, but there is a plan to use a thread-safe map data structure in an upcoming release.

#### **rocAL** (2.3.0)

##### Added
* Extended support to rocAL's video decoder to use rocDecode hardware decoder.

##### Resolved issues
  
* Fixed environment variable path-based logging to append multiple handle outputs to the same file.
* Support numerics when `trsm` is running with `rocblas_status_perf_degraded`.
* Fixed the build dependency installation of `joblib` on some operating systems.

##### Textual User Interface (TUI) (beta version)

* Text User Interface (TUI) support for analyze mode
  * A command line based user interface to support interactive single-run analysis.
  * To launch, use `--tui` option in analyze mode. For example, ``rocprof-compute analyze --tui``.

##### PC Sampling (beta version)

* Stochastic (hardware-based) PC sampling has been enabled for AMD Instinct MI300X Series and later GPUs.

* Host-trap PC Sampling has been enabled for AMD Instinct MI200 Series and later GPUs.

* Support for sorting of PC sampling by type: offset or count.

* PC Sampling Support on CLI and TUI analysis.

##### Roofline

* Support for Roofline plot on CLI (single run) analysis.

* `FP4` and `FP6` data types have been added for roofline profiling on AMD Instinct MI350 Series.

##### rocprofv3 support

* ``rocprofv3`` is supported as the default backend for profiling.
* Support to obtain performance information for all channels for TCC counters.
* Support for profiling on AMD Instinct MI 100 using ``rocprofv3``.
* Deprecation warning for ``rocprofv3`` interface in favor of the ROCprofiler-SDK interface, which directly accesses ``rocprofv3`` C++ tool.

##### Others

* Decreased profiling time by not collecting unused counters in post-analysis.
* Updated Dash to >=3.0.0 (for web UI).
* Changed the condition when Roofline PDFs are generated during general profiling and ``--roof-only`` profiling (skip only when ``--no-roof`` option is present).
* Updated Roofline binaries:
  * Rebuild using latest ROCm stack.
  * Minimum OS distribution support minimum for roofline feature is now Ubuntu 22.04, RHEL 8, and SLES15 SP6.

##### Removed

* Roofline support for Ubuntu 20.04 and SLES below 15.6.

##### Known issues

* On AMD Instinct MI100, accumulation counters are not collected, resulting in the following metrics failing to show up in the analysis: Instruction Fetch Latency, Wavefront Occupancy, LDS Latency.
  * As a workaround, use the environment variable ``ROCPROF=rocprof``, to use ``rocprof v1`` for profiling on AMD Instinct MI100.

* GPU id filtering is not supported when using ``rocprofv3``.

* Analysis of previously collected workload data will not work due to sysinfo.csv schema change.
  * As a workaround, re-run the profiling operation for the workload and interrupt the process after 10 seconds.
  Followed by copying the ``sysinfo.csv`` file from the new data folder to the old one.
  This assumes your system specification hasn't changed since the creation of the previous workload data.

* Analysis of new workloads might require providing shader/memory clock speed using
``--specs-correction`` operation if amd-smi or rocminfo does not provide clock speeds.

* Memory chart on ROCm Compute Profiler CLI might look corrupted if the CLI width is too narrow.

* Roofline feature is currently not functional on Azure Linux 3.0 and Debian 12.

##### Upcoming changes

* ``rocprof v1/v2/v3`` interfaces will be removed in favor of the ROCprofiler-SDK interface, which directly accesses ``rocprofv3`` C++ tool. Using ``rocprof v1/v2/v3`` interfaces will trigger a deprecation warning.
  * To use ROCprofiler-SDK interface, set environment variable `ROCPROF=rocprofiler-sdk` and optionally provide profile mode option ``--rocprofiler-sdk-library-path /path/to/librocprofiler-sdk.so``. Add ``--rocprofiler-sdk-library-path`` runtime option to choose the path to ROCprofiler-SDK library to be used.
* Hardware IP block based filtering using ``-b`` option in profile mode will be removed in favor of analysis report block based filtering using ``-b`` option in profile mode.
* MongoDB database support will be removed, and a deprecation warning has been added to the application interface.
* Usage of ``rocm-smi`` is deprecated in favor of ``amd-smi``, and a deprecation warning has been added to the application interface.

##### Added

* More profiling and monitoring metrics, especially for AMD Instinct MI300 and newer GPUs.
* Advanced logging and debugging options, including new log levels and troubleshooting guidance.

##### Changed

* Reorganized the configuration files internally and improved [README/installation](https://github.com/ROCm/rdc/blob/release/rocm-rel-7.0/README.md) instructions.
* Updated metrics and monitoring support for the latest AMD data center GPUs.

##### Optimized

- Integration with [ROCprofiler-SDK](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/rocprofiler-sdk/en/latest/) for performance metrics collection.
- Standalone and embedded operating modes, including streamlined authentication and configuration options.
- Support and documentation for diagnostic commands and GPU group management.
- [RVS](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/ROCmValidationSuite/en/latest/) test integration and reporting.

#### **ROCm SMI** (7.8.0)

##### Added

- Support for GPU metrics 1.8.  
  - Added new fields for `rsmi_gpu_metrics_t` including:  
    - Adding the following metrics to allow new calculations for violation status:
    - Per XCP metrics `gfx_below_host_limit_ppt_acc[XCP][MAX_XCC]` - GFX Clock Host limit Package Power Tracking violation counts.
    - Per XCP metrics `gfx_below_host_limit_thm_acc[XCP][MAX_XCC]` - GFX Clock Host limit Thermal (TVIOL) violation counts.
    - Per XCP metrics `gfx_low_utilization_acc[XCP][MAX_XCC]` - violation counts for how did low utilization caused the GPU to be below application clocks.
    - Per XCP metrics `gfx_below_host_limit_total_acc[XCP][MAX_XCC]`- violation counts for how long GPU was held below application clocks any limiter (see above new violation metrics).
  - Increasing available JPEG engines to 40.  
  Current ASICs may not support all 40. These will be indicated as UINT16_MAX or N/A in CLI.

##### Removed

- Removed backwards compatibility for `rsmi_dev_gpu_metrics_info_get()`'s `jpeg_activity` and `vcn_activity` fields. Alternatively use `xcp_stats.jpeg_busy` and `xcp_stats.vcn_busy`.
  - Backwards compatibility is removed for `jpeg_activity` and `vcn_activity` fields, if the `jpeg_busy` or `vcn_busy` field is available.
      - Providing both `vcn_activity`/`jpeg_activity` and XCP (partition) stats `vcn_busy`/`jpeg_busy` caused confusion for users about which field to use. By removing backward compatibility, it is easier to identify the relevant field.
      - The `jpeg_busy` field increased in size (for supported ASICs), making backward compatibility unable to fully copy the structure into `jpeg_activity`.

```{note}
See the full [ROCm SMI changelog](https://github.com/ROCm/rocm_smi_lib/blob/release/rocm-rel-7.0/CHANGELOG.md) for details, examples, and in-depth descriptions.

#### **rocPRIM** (4.0.0)

##### Added

* Support for gfx950.
* `rocprim::accumulator_t` to ensure parity with CCCL.
* Test for `rocprim::accumulator_t`.
* `rocprim::invoke_result_r` to ensure parity with CCCL.
* Function `is_build_in` into `rocprim::traits::get`.
* Virtual shared memory as a fallback option in `rocprim::device_merge` when it exceeds shared memory capacity, similar to `rocprim::device_select`, `rocprim::device_partition`, and `rocprim::device_merge_sort`, which already include this feature.
* Initial value support to device level inclusive scans.
* New optimization to the backend for `device_transform` when the input and output are pointers.
* `LoadType` to `transform_config`, which is used for the `device_transform` when the input and output are pointers.
* `rocprim:device_transform` for n-ary transform operations API with as input `n` number of iterators inside a `rocprim::tuple`.
* `rocprim::key_value_pair::operator==`.
* The `rocprim::unrolled_copy` thread function to copy multiple items inside a thread.
* The `rocprim::unrolled_thread_load` function to load multiple items inside a thread using `rocprim::thread_load`.
* `rocprim::int128_t` and `rocprim::uint128_t` to benchmarks for improved performance evaluation on 128-bit integers.
* `rocprim::int128_t` to the supported autotuning types to improve performance for 128-bit integers.
* The `rocprim::merge_inplace` function for merging in-place.
* Initial value support for warp- and block-level inclusive scan.
* Support for building tests with device-side random data generation, making them finish faster. This requires rocRAND, and is enabled with the `WITH_ROCRAND=ON` build flag.
* Tests and documentation to `lookback_scan_state`. It is still in the `detail` namespace.

##### Changed

* Changed the parameters `long_radix_bits` and `LongRadixBits` from `segmented_radix_sort` to `radix_bits` and `RadixBits`, respectively.
* Marked the initialisation constructor of `rocprim::reverse_iterator<Iter>` `explicit`, use `rocprim::make_reverse_iterator`.
* Merged `radix_key_codec` into type_traits system.
* Renamed `type_traits_interface.hpp` to `type_traits.hpp`, rename the original `type_traits.hpp` to `type_traits_functions.hpp`.
* The default scan accumulator types for device-level scan algorithms have changed. This is a breaking change.
The previous default accumulator types could lead to situations in which unexpected overflow occurred, such as when the input or initial type was smaller than the output type. This is a complete list of affected functions and how their default accumulator types are changing:

  * `rocprim::inclusive_scan`
    * Previous default: `class AccType = typename std::iterator_traits<InputIterator>::value_type>`
    * Current default: `class AccType = rocprim::accumulator_t<BinaryFunction, typename std::iterator_traits<InputIterator>::value_type>`
  * `rocprim::deterministic_inclusive_scan`
    * Previous default: `class AccType = typename std::iterator_traits<InputIterator>::value_type>`
    * Current default: `class AccType = rocprim::accumulator_t<BinaryFunction, typename std::iterator_traits<InputIterator>::value_type>`
  * `rocprim::exclusive_scan`
    * Previous default: `class AccType = detail::input_type_t<InitValueType>>`
    * Current default: `class AccType = rocprim::accumulator_t<BinaryFunction, rocprim::detail::input_type_t<InitValueType>>`
  * `rocprim::deterministic_exclusive_scan`
    * Previous default: `class AccType = detail::input_type_t<InitValueType>>`
    * Current default: `class AccType = rocprim::accumulator_t<BinaryFunction, rocprim::detail::input_type_t<InitValueType>>`
* Undeprecated internal `detail::raw_storage`.
* A new version of `rocprim::thread_load` and `rocprim::thread_store` replaces the deprecated `rocprim::thread_load` and `rocprim::thread_store` functions. The versions avoid inline assembly where possible, and don't hinder the optimizer as much as a result.
* Renamed `rocprim::load_cs` to `rocprim::load_nontemporal` and `rocprim::store_cs` to `rocprim::store_nontemporal` to express the intent of these load and store methods better.
* All kernels now have hidden symbol visibility. All symbols now have inline namespaces that include the library version, for example, `rocprim::ROCPRIM_300400_NS::symbol` instead of `rocPRIM::symbol`, letting the user link multiple libraries built with different versions of rocPRIM.

##### Removed

* `rocprim::detail::float_bit_mask` and relative tests, use `rocprim::traits::float_bit_mask` instead.
* `rocprim::traits::is_fundamental`, use `rocprim::traits::get<T>::is_fundamental()` directly.
* The deprecated parameters `short_radix_bits` and `ShortRadixBits` from the `segmented_radix_sort` config. They were unused, it is only an API change.
* The deprecated `operator<<` from the iterators.
* The deprecated `TwiddleIn` and `TwiddleOut`. Use `radix_key_codec` instead.
* The deprecated flags API of `block_adjacent_difference`. Use `subtract_left()` or `block_discontinuity::flag_heads()` instead.
* The deprecated `to_exclusive` functions in the warp scans.
* The `rocprim::load_cs` from the `cache_load_modifier` enum. Use `rocprim::load_nontemporal` instead.
* The `rocprim::store_cs` from the `cache_store_modifier` enum. Use `rocprim::store_nontemporal` instead.
* The deprecated header file `rocprim/detail/match_result_type.hpp`. Include `rocprim/type_traits.hpp` instead. This header included:
  * `rocprim::detail::invoke_result`. Use `rocprim::invoke_result` instead.
  * `rocprim::detail::invoke_result_binary_op`. Use `rocprim::invoke_result_binary_op` instead.
  * `rocprim::detail::match_result_type`. Use `rocprim::invoke_result_binary_op_t` instead.
* The deprecated `rocprim::detail::radix_key_codec` function. Use `rocprim::radix_key_codec` instead.
* Removed `rocprim/detail/radix_sort.hpp`, functionality can now be found in `rocprim/thread/radix_key_codec.hpp`.
* Removed C++14 support. Only C++17 is supported.
* Due to the removal of `__AMDGCN_WAVEFRONT_SIZE` in the compiler, the following deprecated warp size-related symbols have been removed:
  * `rocprim::device_warp_size()`
    * For compile-time constants, this is replaced with `rocprim::arch::wavefront::min_size()` and `rocprim::arch::wavefront::max_size()`. Use this when allocating global or shared memory.
    * For run-time constants, this is replaced with `rocprim::arch::wavefront::size().`
  * `rocprim::warp_size()`
    * Use `rocprim::host_warp_size()`, `rocprim::arch::wavefront::min_size()` or `rocprim::arch::wavefront::max_size()` instead.
  * `ROCPRIM_WAVEFRONT_SIZE`
    * Use `rocprim::arch::wavefront::min_size()` or `rocprim::arch::wavefront::max_size()` instead.
  * `__AMDGCN_WAVEFRONT_SIZE`
    * This was a fallback define for the compiler's removed symbol, having the same name. 
* This release removes support for custom builds on gfx940 and gfx941.

##### Optimized

* Improved performance of `rocprim::device_select` and `rocprim::device_partition` when using multiple streams on the AMD Instinct MI300 Series.

##### Resolved issues

* Fixed an issue where `device_batch_memcpy` reported benchmarking throughput being 2x lower than it was in reality.
* Fixed an issue where `device_segmented_reduce` reported autotuning throughput being 5x lower than it was in reality.
* Fixed device radix sort not returning the correct required temporary storage when a double buffer contains `nullptr`.
* Fixed constness of equality operators (`==` and `!=`) in `rocprim::key_value_pair`.
* Fixed an issue for the comparison operators in `arg_index_iterator` and `texture_cache_iterator`, where `<` and `>` comparators were swapped.
* Fixed an issue for the `rocprim::thread_reduce` not working correctly with a prefix value.

##### Known issues

* When using `rocprim::deterministic_inclusive_scan_by_key` and `rocprim::deterministic_exclusive_scan_by_key` the intermediate values can change order on Navi3x. However, if a commutative scan operator is used then the final scan value (output array) will still always be consistent between runs.

##### Upcoming changes

* `rocprim::invoke_result_binary_op` and `rocprim::invoke_result_binary_op_t` are deprecated. Use `rocprim::accumulator_t` instead.

* Changed the unnecessarily large 64-bit data type for constants used for skipping in `MRG32K3A` to the 32-bit data type.
* Updated several `gfx942` auto tuning parameters.
* Modified error handling and expanded the error information for the case of double-deallocation of the (scrambled) sobol32 and sobol64 constants and direction vectors.

##### Removed

* Removed inline assembly and the `ENABLE_INLINE_ASM` CMake option. Inline assembly was used to optimize multiplication in the Mrg32k3a and Philox 4x32-10 generators. It is no longer needed because the current HIP compiler is able to produce code with the same or better performance.
* Removed instances of the deprecated clang definition `__AMDGCN_WAVEFRONT_SIZE`.
* Removed C++14 support. Beginning with this release, only C++17 is supported.
* Directly accessing the (scrambled) sobol32 and sobol64 constants and direction vectors is no longer supported. For:
  * `h_scrambled_sobol32_constants`, use `rocrand_get_scramble_constants32` instead.
  * `h_scrambled_sobol64_constants`, use `rocrand_get_scramble_constants64` instead.
  * `rocrand_h_sobol32_direction_vectors`, use `rocrand_get_direction_vectors32` instead.
  * `rocrand_h_sobol64_direction_vectors`, use `rocrand_get_direction_vectors64` instead.
  * `rocrand_h_scrambled_sobol32_direction_vectors`, use `rocrand_get_direction_vectors32` instead.
  * `rocrand_h_scrambled_sobol64_direction_vectors`, use `rocrand_get_direction_vectors64` instead.

##### Resolved issues

* Fixed an issue where `mt19937.hpp` would cause kernel errors during auto tuning.

##### Upcoming changes

* Deprecated the rocRAND Fortran API in favor of hipfort.

#### **ROCr Debug Agent** (2.1.0)

##### Added

* The `-e` and `--precise-alu-exceptions` flags to enable precise ALU exceptions reporting on supported configurations.

#### **ROCr Runtime** (1.18.0)

##### Added

* New API `hsa_amd_memory_get_preferred_copy_engine` to get preferred copy engine that can be used to when calling `hsa_amd_memory_async_copy_on_engine`.
* New API `hsa_amd_portable_export_dmabuf_v2` extension of existing `hsa_amd_portable_export_dmabuf` API to support new flags parameter. This allows specifying the new `HSA_AMD_DMABUF_MAPPING_TYPE_PCIE` flag when exporting dma-bufs.
* New flag `HSA_AMD_VMEM_ADDRESS_NO_REGISTER` adds support for new `HSA_AMD_VMEM_ADDRESS_NO_REGISTER` when calling `hsa_amd_vmem_address_reserve` API. This allows virtual address range reservations for SVM allocations to be tracked when running in ASAN mode.
* New sub query `HSA_AMD_AGENT_INFO_CLOCK_COUNTERS` returns a snapshot of the underlying driver's clock counters that can be used for profiling.

#### **rocSHMEM** (3.0.0)

##### Added

* Reverse Offload conduit.
* New APIs: `rocshmem_ctx_barrier`, `rocshmem_ctx_barrier_wave`, `rocshmem_ctx_barrier_wg`, `rocshmem_barrier_all`, `rocshmem_barrier_all_wave`, `rocshmem_barrier_all_wg`, `rocshmem_ctx_sync`, `rocshmem_ctx_sync_wave`, `rocshmem_ctx_sync_wg`, `rocshmem_sync_all`, `rocshmem_sync_all_wave`, `rocshmem_sync_all_wg`, `rocshmem_init_attr`, `rocshmem_get_uniqueid`, and `rocshmem_set_attr_uniqueid_args`.
* `dlmalloc` based allocator.
* XNACK support.
* Support for initialization with MPI communicators other than `MPI_COMM_WORLD`.

##### Changed

* Changed collective APIs to use `_wg` suffix rather than `_wg_` infix.

##### Resolved issues

* Resolved segfault in `rocshmem_wg_ctx_create`, now provides `nullptr` if `ctx` cannot be created.

#### **rocSOLVER** (3.30.0)

##### Added

* Hybrid computation support for existing routines: STEQR

##### Optimized

* Improved the performance of BDSQR and downstream functions, such as GESVD.
* Improved the performance of STEQR and downstream functions, such as SYEV/HEEV.
* Improved the performance of LARFT and downstream functions, such as GEQR2 and GEQRF.

##### Resolved issues

* Fixed corner cases that can produce NaNs in SYEVD for valid input matrices.

#### **rocSPARSE** (4.0.2)

##### Added

* The `SpGEAM` generic routine for computing sparse matrix addition in CSR format.
* The `v2_SpMV` generic routine for computing sparse matrix vector multiplication. As opposed to the deprecated `rocsparse_spmv` routine, this routine does not use a fallback algorithm if a non-implemented configuration is encountered and will return an error in such a case. For the deprecated `rocsparse_spmv` routine, the user can enable warning messages in situations where a fallback algorithm is used by either calling the `rocsparse_enable_debug` routine upfront or exporting the variable `ROCSPARSE_DEBUG` (with the shell command `export ROCSPARSE_DEBUG=1`).
* Half float mixed precision to `rocsparse_axpby` where X and Y use `float16` and the result and compute type use `float`.
* Half float mixed precision to `rocsparse_spvv` where X and Y use `float16` and the result and compute type use `float`.
* Half float mixed precision to `rocsparse_spmv` where A and X use `float16` and Y and the compute type use `float`.
* Half float mixed precision to `rocsparse_spmm` where A and B use `float16` and C and the compute type use `float`.
* Half float mixed precision to `rocsparse_sddmm` where A and B use `float16` and C and the compute type use `float`.
* Half float uniform precision to the `rocsparse_scatter` and `rocsparse_gather` routines.
* Half float uniform precision to the `rocsparse_sddmm` routine.
* The `rocsparse_spmv_alg_csr_rowsplit` algorithm.
* Support for gfx950.
* ROC-TX instrumentation support in rocSPARSE (not available on Windows or in the static library version on Linux).
* The `almalinux` operating system name to correct the GFortran dependency.

##### Changed

* Switch to defaulting to C++17 when building rocSPARSE from source. Previously rocSPARSE was using C++14 by default.

##### Removed

* The deprecated `rocsparse_spmv_ex` routine.
* The deprecated `rocsparse_sbsrmv_ex`, `rocsparse_dbsrmv_ex`, `rocsparse_cbsrmv_ex`, and `rocsparse_zbsrmv_ex` routines.
* The deprecated `rocsparse_sbsrmv_ex_analysis`, `rocsparse_dbsrmv_ex_analysis`, `rocsparse_cbsrmv_ex_analysis`, and `rocsparse_zbsrmv_ex_analysis` routines.

##### Optimized

* Reduced the number of template instantiations in the library to further reduce the shared library binary size and improve compile times.
* Allow SpGEMM routines to use more shared memory when available. This can speed up performance for matrices with a large number of intermediate products.
* Use of the `rocsparse_spmv_alg_csr_adaptive` or `rocsparse_spmv_alg_csr_default` algorithms in `rocsparse_spmv` to perform transposed sparse matrix multiplication (`C=alpha*A^T*x+beta*y`) resulted in unnecessary analysis on A and needless slowdown during the analysis phase. This has been improved by skipping the analysis when performing the transposed sparse matrix multiplication.
* Improved the user documentation.

##### Resolved issues
  
* Fixed an issue in the public headers where `extern "C"` was not wrapped by `#ifdef __cplusplus`, which caused failures when building C programs with rocSPARSE.
* Fixed a memory access fault in the `rocsparse_Xbsrilu0` routines.
* Fixed failures that could occur in `rocsparse_Xbsrsm_solve` or `rocsparse_spsm` with BSR format when using host pointer mode.
* Fixed ASAN compilation failures.
* Fixed a failure that occurred when using const descriptor `rocsparse_create_const_csr_descr` with the generic routine `rocsparse_sparse_to_sparse`. The issue was not observed when using non-const descriptor `rocsparse_create_csr_descr` with `rocsparse_sparse_to_sparse`.
* Fixed a memory leak in the rocSPARSE handle.

##### Upcoming changes

* Deprecated the `rocsparse_spmv` routine. Use the `rocsparse_v2_spmv` routine instead.
* Deprecated the `rocsparse_spmv_alg_csr_stream` algorithm. Use the `rocsparse_spmv_alg_csr_rowsplit` algorithm instead.
* Deprecated the `rocsparse_itilu0_alg_sync_split_fusion` algorithm. Use one of `rocsparse_itilu0_alg_async_inplace`, `rocsparse_itilu0_alg_async_split`, or `rocsparse_itilu0_alg_sync_split` instead.

#### **rocThrust** (4.0.0)

##### Added

* Additional unit tests for: binary_search, complex, c99math, catrig, ccosh, cexp, clog, csin, csqrt, and ctan.
* `test_param_fixtures.hpp` to store all the parameters for typed test suites.
* `test_real_assertions.hpp` to handle unit test assertions for real numbers.
* `test_imag_assertions.hpp` to handle unit test assertions for imaginary numbers.
* `clang++` is now used to compile google benchmarks on Windows.
* Support for gfx950.
* Merged changes from upstream CCCL/thrust 2.6.0.

##### Changed

* Updated the required version of Google Benchmark from 1.8.0 to 1.9.0.
* Renamed `cpp14_required.h` to `cpp_version_check.h`.
* Refactored `test_header.hpp` into `test_param_fixtures.hpp`, `test_real_assertions.hpp`, `test_imag_assertions.hpp`, and `test_utils.hpp`. This is done to prevent unit tests from having access to modules that they're not testing. This will improve the accuracy of code coverage reports.

##### Removed

* `device_malloc_allocator.h` has been removed. This header file was unused and should not impact users.
* Removed C++14 support. Only C++17 is now supported.
* `test_header.hpp` has been removed. The `HIP_CHECK` function, as well as the `test` and `inter_run_bwr` namespaces, have been moved to `test_utils.hpp`.
* `test_assertions.hpp` has been split into `test_real_assertions.hpp` and `test_imag_assertions.hpp`.

##### Resolved issues

* Fixed an issue with internal calls to unqualified `distance()` which would be ambiguous due to the visible implementation through ADL.

##### Known issues

* The order of the values being compared by `thrust::exclusive_scan_by_key` and `thrust::inclusive_scan_by_key` can change between runs when integers are being compared. This can cause incorrect output when a non-commutative operator such as division is being used.

##### Upcoming changes

* `thrust::device_malloc_allocator` is deprecated as of this version. It will be removed in an upcoming version.

#### **rocWMMA** (2.0.0)

##### Added

* Internal register layout transforms to support interleaved MMA layouts.
* Support for the gfx950 target.
* Mixed input `BF8`/`FP8` types for MMA support.
* Fragment scheduler API objects to embed thread block cooperation properties in fragments.

##### Changed

* Augmented load/store/MMA internals with static loop unrolling.
* Updated linkage of `rocwmma::synchronize_workgroup` to inline.
* rocWMMA `mma_sync` API now supports `wave tile` fragment sizes.
* rocWMMA cooperative fragments are now expressed with fragment scheduler template arguments.
* rocWMMA cooperative fragments now use the same base API as non-cooperative fragments.
* rocWMMA cooperative fragments register usage footprint has been reduced.
* rocWMMA fragments now support partial tile sizes with padding.

##### Removed

* Support for the gfx940 and gfx941 targets.
* The rocWMMA cooperative API.
* Wave count template parameters from transforms APIs.

##### Optimized

* Added internal flow control barriers to improve assembly code generation and overall performance.
* Enabled interleaved layouts by default in MMA to improve overall performance.

##### Resolved issues

* Fixed a validation issue for small precision compute types `< B32` on gfx9.
* Fixed CMake validation of compiler support for `BF8`/`FP8` types.

#### **RPP** (2.0.0)

##### Added

* Bitwise NOT, Bitwise AND, and Bitwise OR augmentations on HOST (CPU) and HIP backends.
* Tensor Concat augmentation on HOST (CPU) and HIP backends.
* JPEG Compression Distortion augmentation on HIP backend. 
* `log1p`, defined as `log (1 + x)`, tensor augmentation support on HOST (CPU) and HIP backends.
* JPEG Compression Distortion augmentation on HOST (CPU) backend. 

##### Changed

* Handle creation and destruction APIs have been consolidated. Use `rppCreate()` for handle initialization and `rppDestroy()` for handle destruction.
* The `logical_operations` function category has been renamed to `bitwise_operations`.
* TurboJPEG package installation enabled for RPP Test Suite with `sudo apt-get install libturbojpeg0-dev`. Instructions have been updated in utilities/test_suite/README.md.
* The `swap_channels` augmentation has been changed to `channel_permute`. `channel_permute` now also accepts a new argument, `permutationTensor` (pointer to an unsigned int tensor), that provides the permutation order to swap the RGB channels of each input image in the batch in any order:

    `RppStatus rppt_swap_channels_host(RppPtr_t srcPtr, RpptDescPtr srcDescPtr, RppPtr_t dstPtr, RpptDescPtr dstDescPtr, rppHandle_t rppHandle);`

    changed to:

    `RppStatus rppt_channel_permute_host(RppPtr_t srcPtr, RpptDescPtr srcDescPtr, RppPtr_t dstPtr, RpptDescPtr dstDescPtr, Rpp32u *permutationTensor , rppHandle_t rppHandle);`

##### Removed

* Older versions of RPP handle creation inlcuding `rppCreateWithBatchSize()`, `rppCreateWithStream()`, and `rppCreateWithStreamAndBatchSize()`. These have been replaced with `rppCreate()`.
* Older versions of RPP handle destruction API including `rppDestroyGPU()` and `rppDestroyHost()`. These have been replaced with `rppDestroy()`.

##### Resolved issues

* Test package - Debian packages will install required dependencies.

### ROCm known issues

ROCm known issues are noted on {fab}`github` [GitHub](https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/labels/Verified%20Issue). For known
issues related to individual components, review the [Detailed component changes](#detailed-component-changes).

#### A memory error in the kernel might lead to applications using the ROCr library becoming unresponsive

Applications using the ROCr library might become unresponsive if a memory error occurs in the launched kernel when the queue from which it was launched is destroyed. The application is unable to receive further signal, resulting in the stall condition. The issue will be fixed in a future ROCm release. See [GitHub issue #5334](https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/5334).

#### Applications using stream capture APIs might fail during stream capture

Applications using ``hipLaunchHostFunc`` with stream capture APIs might fail to capture graphs during stream capture, and return `hipErrorStreamCaptureUnsupported`. This issue resulted from an update in ``hipStreamAddCallback``. This issue will be fixed in a future ROCm release. See [GitHub issue #5337](https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/5337).

#### Compilation failure via hipRTC when compiling with std=c++11

Applications compiling kernels using `hipRTC` might fail while passing the `std=c++11` compiler option. This issue will be fixed in a future ROCm release. See [GitHub issue #5341](https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/5341).

#### Compilation failure when referencing std::array if _GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS is defined

Compiling from a device kernel or function results in failure when attempting to reference `std::array` if `_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS` is defined. The issue occurs because there's no device definition for `std::__glibcxx_asert_fail()`. This issue will be resolved in a future ROCm release with the implementation of `std::__glibcxx_assert_fail()`. See [GitHub issue #5342](https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/5342).

#### Segmentation fault in ROCprofiler-SDK due to ABI mismatch affecting std::regex

Starting with GCC 5.1, GNU `libstdc++` introduced a dual Application Binary Interface (ABI) to adopt `C++11`, primarily affecting the `std::string` and its dependencies, including `std::regex`. If your code is compiled against headers expecting one ABI but linked or run with the other, it can cause problems with `std::string` and `std::regex`, leading to a segmentation fault in ROCprofiler-SDK, which uses `std::regex`. This issue is resolved in the [ROCm Systems `develop` branch](https://github.com/ROCm/rocm-systems) and will be part of a future ROCm release. See [GitHub issue #5343](https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/5343).

#### Decline in performance of batched GEMM operation for applications using hipBLASLT kernels

Default batched General Matrix Multiplications (GEMM) operations for rocBLAS and hipBLAS on gfx1200 and gfx1201 may have a decline in performance in comparison with non-batched and strided_batched GEMM operations. By default, the batched GEMM uses hipBLASLT kernels, and switching to the Tensile kernel resolves the performance decline issue. The issue will be fixed in a future ROCm release. As a workaround, you can set the environment variable `ROCBLAS_USE_HIPBLASLT=0` before the batched GEMM operation is performed on gfx1200 and gfx1201. After completing the batched operation, reset the variable to `ROCBLAS_USE_HIPBLASLT=1` before calling non-batched or strided_batched operations. See [GitHub issue #5344](https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/5344).

#### Failure to declare out-of-bound CPERs for bad memory page

Exceeding bad memory page threshold fails to declare Out-Of-Band Common Platform Error Records (CPERs). This issue affects all AMD Instinct MI300 Series and MI350 Series GPUs, and will be fixed in a future AMD GPU Driver release. See [GitHub issue #5345](https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/5345).

### ROCm resolved issues

The following are previously known issues resolved in this release. For resolved issues related to
individual components, review the [Detailed component changes](#detailed-component-changes).

#### Failure when using a generic target with compression and vice versa

An issue where compiling a generic target resulted in compression failing has been resolved in this release. This issue prevented you from compiling a generic target and using compression simultaneously. See [GitHub issue #4602](https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/4602).

#### Limited support for Sparse API and Pallas functionality in JAX

An issue where due to limited support for Sparse API in JAX, some of the functionality of the Pallas extension were restricted has been resolved. See [GitHub issue #4608](https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/4608).

#### Failure to use –kokkos-trace option in ROCm Compute Profiler

An issue where using of the ``--kokkos-trace`` option resulted in a difference between the output of the ``--kokkos-trace`` and the ``counter_collection.csv`` output file has been resolved. Due to this issue, the program exited with a warning message if the ``-kokkos-trace`` option was detected in the ROCm Compute Profiler. This issue was due to the partial implementation of ``--kokkos-trace`` in ``rocprofv3`` tool. See [GitHub issue #4604](https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/4604).

### ROCm upcoming changes

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

#### ROCm SMI deprecation

[ROCm SMI](https://github.com/ROCm/rocm_smi_lib) will be phased out in an
upcoming ROCm release and will enter maintenance mode. After this transition,
only critical bug fixes will be addressed and no further feature development
will take place.
 
It's strongly recommended to transition your projects to [AMD
SMI](https://github.com/ROCm/amdsmi), the successor to ROCm SMI. AMD SMI
includes all the features of the ROCm SMI and will continue to receive regular
updates, new functionality, and ongoing support. For more information on AMD
SMI, see the [AMD SMI documentation](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/amdsmi/en/latest/).

#### ROCTracer, ROCProfiler, rocprof, and rocprofv2 deprecation

Development and support for ROCTracer, ROCProfiler, `rocprof`, and `rocprofv2` are being phased out in favor of ROCprofiler-SDK in upcoming ROCm releases. Starting with ROCm 6.4, only critical defect fixes will be addressed for older versions of the profiling tools and libraries. All users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest version of the ROCprofiler-SDK library and the (`rocprofv3`) tool to ensure continued support and access to new features. ROCprofiler-SDK is still in beta today and will be production-ready in a future ROCm release.
 
It's anticipated that ROCTracer, ROCProfiler, `rocprof`, and `rocprofv2` will reach end-of-life by future releases, aligning with Q1 of 2026.

#### AMDGPU wavefront size compiler macro deprecation

Access to the wavefront size as a compile-time constant via the `__AMDGCN_WAVEFRONT_SIZE`
and `__AMDGCN_WAVEFRONT_SIZE__` macros are deprecated and will be disabled in a future release. In ROCm 7.0.0 `warpSize` is only available as a non-`constextpr` variable. You're encouraged to update your code if needed to ensure future compatibility.

* The `__AMDGCN_WAVEFRONT_SIZE__` macro and `__AMDGCN_WAVEFRONT_SIZE` alias will be removed in an upcoming release.
  It is recommended to remove any use of this macro. For more information, see
  [AMDGPU support](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/llvm-project/en/docs-7.0.0/LLVM/clang/html/AMDGPUSupport.html).
* `warpSize` is only available as a non-`constexpr` variable. Where required,
  the wavefront size should be queried via the `warpSize` variable in device code,
  or via `hipGetDeviceProperties` in host code. Neither of these will result in a compile-time constant. For more information, see [warpSize](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/HIP/en/docs-7.0.0/how-to/hip_cpp_language_extensions.html#warpsize).
* For cases where compile-time evaluation of the wavefront size cannot be avoided,
  uses of `__AMDGCN_WAVEFRONT_SIZE`, `__AMDGCN_WAVEFRONT_SIZE__`, or `warpSize`
  can be replaced with a user-defined macro or `constexpr` variable with the wavefront
  size(s) for the target hardware. For example: 

```
   #if defined(__GFX9__)
   #define MY_MACRO_FOR_WAVEFRONT_SIZE 64
   #else
   #define MY_MACRO_FOR_WAVEFRONT_SIZE 32
   #endif
```

#### Changes to ROCm Object Tooling

ROCm Object Tooling tools ``roc-obj-ls``, ``roc-obj-extract``, and ``roc-obj`` were
deprecated in ROCm 6.4, and will be removed in a future release. Functionality
has been added to the ``llvm-objdump --offloading`` tool option to extract all
clang-offload-bundles into individual code objects found within the objects
or executables passed as input.  The ``llvm-objdump --offloading`` tool option also
supports the ``--arch-name`` option, and only extracts code objects found with
the specified target architecture. See [llvm-objdump](https://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/llvm-objdump.html)
for more information.
