We now offer functional support for inference in the FP8E4M3FNUZ datatype. You - can load an ONNX model in FP8E4M3FNUZ using C++ or Python APIs, or `migraphx-driver`. - You can quantize a floating point model to FP8 format by using the `--fp8` flag with `migraphx-driver`. - To accelerate inference, MIGraphX uses hardware acceleration on MI300 for FP8 by leveraging FP8 - support in various backend kernel libraries. - -### MIOpen - -* **Improved performance for inference and convolutions**. - Inference support now provided for Find 2.0 fusion plans. Additionally, we've enhanced the Number of - samples, Height, Width, and Channels (NHWC) convolution kernels for heuristics. NHWC stores data - in a format where the height and width dimensions come first, followed by channels. - -### OpenMP - -* **Implicit Zero-copy is triggered automatically in XNACK-enabled MI300A systems**. - Implicit Zero-copy behavior in `non unified_shared_memory` programs is triggered automatically in - XNACK-enabled MI300A systems (for example, when using the `HSA_XNACK=1` environment - variable). OpenMP supports the 'requires `unified_shared_memory`' directive to support programs - that don’t want to copy data explicitly between the CPU and GPU. However, this requires that you add - these directives to every translation unit of the program. - -* **New MI300 FP atomics**. Application performance can now improve by leveraging fast floating-point atomics on MI300 (gfx942). - - -### RCCL - -* **NCCL 2.18.6 compatibility**. - RCCL is now compatible with NCCL 2.18.6, which includes increasing the maximum IB network interfaces to 32 and fixing network device ordering when creating communicators with only one GPU - per node. - -* **Doubled simultaneous communication channels**. - We improved MI300X performance by increasing the maximum number of simultaneous - communication channels from 32 to 64. - -### rocALUTION - -* **New multiple node and GPU support**. - Unsmoothed and smoothed aggregations and Ruge-Stueben AMG now work with multiple nodes - and GPUs. For more information, refer to the - [API documentation](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/rocALUTION/en/latest/usermanual/solvers.html#unsmoothed-aggregation-amg). - -### rocDecode - -* **New ROCm component**. - rocDecode ROCm's newest component, providing high-performance video decode support for AMD - GPUs. To learn more, refer to the - [documentation](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/rocDecode/en/latest/). - -### ROCm Compiler - -* **Combined projects**. ROCm Device-Libs, ROCm Compiler Support, and hipCC are now located in - the `llvm-project/amd` subdirectory of AMD's fork of the LLVM project. Previously, these projects - were maintained in separate repositories. Note that the projects themselves will continue to be - packaged separately. - -* **Split the 'rocm-llvm' package**. This package has been split into a required and an optional package: - - * **rocm-llvm(required)**: A package containing the essential binaries needed for compilation. - - * **rocm-llvm-dev(optional)**: A package containing binaries for compiler and application developers. - - -### ROCm Data Center Tool (RDC) - -* **C++ upgrades**. - RDC was upgraded from C++11 to C++17 to enable a more modern C++ standard when writing RDC plugins. - -### ROCm Performance Primitives (RPP) - -* **New backend support**. - Audio processing support added for the `HOST` backend and 3D Voxel kernels support - for the `HOST` and `HIP` backends. - -### ROCm Validation Suite - -* **New datatype support**. -Added BF16 and FP8 datatypes based on General Matrix Multiply(GEMM) operations in the GPU Stress Test (GST) module. This provides additional performance benchmarking and stress testing based on the newly supported datatypes. - -### rocSOLVER - -* **New EigenSolver routine**. -Based on the Jacobi algorithm, a new EigenSolver routine was added to the library. This routine computes the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix with improved performance. - -### ROCTracer - -* **New versioning and callback enhancements**. -Improved to match versioning changes in HIP Runtime and supports runtime API callbacks and activity record logging. The APIs of different runtimes at different levels are considered different API domains with assigned domain IDs. - -## Upcoming changes - -* ROCm SMI will be deprecated in a future release. We advise **migrating to AMD SMI** now to - prevent future workflow disruptions. - -* hipCC supports, by default, the following compiler invocation flags: - - * `-mllvm -amdgpu-early-inline-all=true` - * `-mllvm -amdgpu-function-calls=false` - - In a future ROCm release, hipCC will no longer support these flags. It will, instead, use the Clang - defaults: - - * `-mllvm -amdgpu-early-inline-all=false` - * `-mllvm -amdgpu-function-calls=true` - - To evaluate the impact of this change, include `--hipcc-func-supp` in your hipCC invocation. - - For information on these flags, and the differences between hipCC and Clang, refer to - [ROCm Compiler Interfaces](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/reference/rocmcc.html#rocm-compiler-interfaces). - -* Future ROCm releases will not provide `clang-ocl`.
