```{note}
|
||||
If you’re using Radeon™ 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.
|
||||
```
|
||||
## Release highlights
|
||||
|
||||
The following are notable new features and improvements in ROCm 6.3.1. For changes to individual components, see
|
||||
[Detailed component changes](#detailed-component-changes).
|
||||
|
||||
### Per queue resiliency for Instinct MI300 accelerators
|
||||
|
||||
The AMDGPU driver now includes enhanced resiliency for misbehaving applications on AMD Instinct MI300 accelerators. This helps isolate the impact of misbehaving applications, ensuring other workloads running on the same accelerator are unaffected.
|
||||
|
||||
### ROCm Runfile Installer
|
||||
|
||||
ROCm 6.3.1 introduces the ROCm Runfile Installer, with initial support for Ubuntu 22.04. The ROCm Runfile Installer facilitates ROCm installation without using a native Linux package management system, with or without network or internet access. For more information, see the [ROCm Runfile Installer documentation](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-linux/en/docs-6.3.1/install/rocm-runfile-installer.html).
|
||||
|
||||
### ROCm documentation updates
|
||||
|
||||
ROCm documentation continues to be updated to provide clearer and more comprehensive guidance for a wider variety of user needs and use cases.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added documentation on training a model with ROCm Megatron-LM. AMD offers a Docker image for MI300X accelerators
|
||||
containing essential components to get started, including ROCm libraries, PyTorch, and Megatron-LM utilities. See
|
||||
[Training a model using ROCm Megatron-LM](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/how-to/rocm-for-ai/train-a-model.html)
|
||||
to get started.
|
||||
|
||||
The new ROCm Megatron-LM training Docker accompanies the [ROCm vLLM inference
|
||||
Docker](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/how-to/performance-validation/mi300x/vllm-benchmark.html)
|
||||
as a set of ready-to-use containerized solutions to get started with using ROCm
|
||||
for AI.
|
||||
|
||||
* Updated the [Instinct MI300X workload tuning
|
||||
guide](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/how-to/tuning-guides/mi300x/workload.html) with more current optimization
|
||||
strategies. The updated sections include guidance on vLLM optimization, PyTorch TunableOp, and hipBLASLt tuning.
|
||||
|
||||
* HIP graph-safe libraries operate safely in HIP execution graphs. [HIP graphs](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/HIP/en/latest/how-to/hip_runtime_api/hipgraph.html#how-to-hip-graph) are an alternative way of executing tasks on a GPU that can provide performance benefits over launching kernels using the standard method via streams. A topic that shows whether a [ROCm library is graph-safe](https://advanced-micro-devices-demo--3953.com.readthedocs.build/en/3953/reference/graph-safe-support.html) has been added.
|
||||
|
||||
* The [Device memory](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/HIP/en/latest/how-to/hip_runtime_api/memory_management/device_memory.html) topic in the HIP memory management section has been updated.
|
||||
|
||||
* The HIP documentation has expanded with new resources for developers:
|
||||
* [Multi device management](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/HIP/en/latest/how-to/hip_runtime_api/multi_device.html)
|
||||
* [OpenGL interoperability](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/HIP/en/latest/how-to/hip_runtime_api/opengl_interop.html)

## 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).
|
||||
|
||||
### PCI Express Qualification Tool failure on Debian 12
|
||||
|
||||
The PCI Express Qualification Tool (PEQT) module present in the ROCm Validation Suite (RVS) might fail due to the segmentation issue in Debian 12 (bookworm). This will result in failure to determine the characteristics of the PCIe interconnect between the host platform and the GPU like support for Gen 3 atomic completers, DMA transfer statistics, link speed, and link width. The standard PCIe command `lspci` can be used as an alternative to view the characteristics of the PCIe bus interconnect with the GPU. This issue is under investigation and will be addressed in a future release. See [GitHub issue #4175](https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/4175).

## 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).
|
||||
|
||||
### Instinct MI300 series: backward weights convolution performance issue
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed a performance issue affecting certain tensor shapes during backward weights convolution when using FP16 or FP32 data types on Instinct MI300 series accelerators. See [GitHub issue #4080](https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/4080).
|
||||
|
||||
### ROCm Compute Profiler and ROCm Systems Profiler post-upgrade issues
|
||||
|
||||
Packaging metadata for ROCm Compute Profiler (`rocprofiler-compute`) and ROCm Systems Profiler
|
||||
(`rocprofiler-systems`) has been updated to handle the renaming from Omniperf and Omnitrace,
|
||||
respectively. This fixes minor issues when upgrading from ROCm 6.2 to 6.3. For more information, see the GitHub issues
|
||||
[#4082](https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/4082) and
|
||||
[#4083](https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/4082).
|
||||
|
||||
### Stale file due to OpenCL ICD loader deprecation
|
||||
|
||||
When upgrading from ROCm 6.2.x to ROCm 6.3.0, the issue of [removal of the `rocm-icd-loader` package](#opencl-icd-loader-separated-from-rocm) leaving a stale file in the old `rocm-6.2.x`directory has been resolved. The stale files left during the upgrade from ROCm 6.2.x to ROCm 6.3.0 will be removed when upgrading to ROCm 6.3.1. For more information, see [GitHub issue #4084](https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/4084).
