-# Contributing to ROCm Docs
-
-AMD values and encourages the ROCm community to contribute to our code and
-documentation. This repository is focused on ROCm documentation and this
-contribution guide describes the recommend method for creating and modifying our
-documentation.
-
-While interacting with ROCm Documentation, we encourage you to be polite and
-respectful in your contributions, content or otherwise. Authors, maintainers of
-these docs act on good intentions and to the best of their knowledge.
-Keep that in mind while you engage. Should you have issues with contributing
-itself, refer to
-[discussions](https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/discussions) on the
-GitHub repository.
-
-## Supported Formats
-
-Our documentation includes both markdown and rst files. Markdown is encouraged
-over rst due to the lower barrier to participation. GitHub flavored markdown is preferred
-for all submissions as it will render accurately on our GitHub repositories. For existing documentation,
-[MyST](https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html) markdown
-is used to implement certain features unsupported in GitHub markdown. This is
-not encouraged for new documentation. AMD will transition
-to stricter use of GitHub flavored markdown with a few caveats. ROCm documentation
-also uses [sphinx-design](https://sphinx-design.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html)
-in our markdown and rst files. We also will use breathe syntax for doxygen documentation
-in our markdown files. Other design elements for effective HTML rendering of the documents
-may be added to our markdown files. Please see
-[GitHub](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github)'s
-guide on writing and formatting on GitHub as a starting point.
-
-ROCm documentation adds additional requirements to markdown and rst based files
-as follows:
-
-- Level one headers are only used for page titles. There must be only one level
-  1 header per file for both Markdown and Restructured Text.
-- Pass [markdownlint](https://github.com/markdownlint/markdownlint) check via
-  our automated github action on a Pull Request (PR).
-
-## Filenames and folder structure
-
-Please use snake case for file names. Our documentation follows pitchfork for
-folder structure. All documentation is in /docs except for special files like
-the contributing guide in the / folder. All images used in the documentation are
-place in the /docs/data folder.
-
-## How to provide feedback for for ROCm documentation
-
-There are three standard ways to provide feedback for this repository.
-
-### Pull Request
-
-All contributions to ROCm documentation should arrive via the
-[GitHub Flow](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/github-flow)
-targetting the develop branch of the repository. If you are unable to contribute
-via the GitHub Flow, feel free to email us. TODO, confirm email address.
-
-### GitHub Issue
-
-Issues on existing or absent docs can be filed as [GitHub issues
-](https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/issues).
-
-### Email Feedback
-
-## Language and Style
-
-Adopting Microsoft CPP-Docs guidelines for [Voice and Tone
-](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/cpp-docs/blob/main/styleguide/voice-tone.md).
-
-ROCm documentation templates to be made public shortly. ROCm templates dictate
-the recommended structure and flow of the documentation. Guidelines on how to
-integrate figures, equations, and tables are all based off
-[MyST](https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html).
-
-Font size and selection, page layout, white space control, and other formatting
-details are controlled via rocm-docs-core, sphinx extention. Please raise issues
-in rocm-docs-core for any formatting concerns and changes requested.
-
-## Building Documentation
-
-While contributing, one may build the documentation locally on the command-line
-or rely on Continuous Integration for previewing the resulting HTML pages in a
-browser.
-
-### Command line documentation builds
-
-Python versions known to build documentation:
-
-- 3.8
-
-To build the docs locally using Python Virtual Environment (`venv`), execute the
-following commands from the project root:
-
-```sh
-python3 -mvenv .venv
-# Windows
-.venv/Scripts/python -m pip install -r docs/sphinx/requirements.txt
-.venv/Scripts/python -m sphinx -T -E -b html -d _build/doctrees -D language=en docs _build/html
-# Linux
-.venv/bin/python     -m pip install -r docs/sphinx/requirements.txt
-.venv/bin/python     -m sphinx -T -E -b html -d _build/doctrees -D language=en docs _build/html
-```
-
-Then open up `_build/html/index.html` in your favorite browser.
-
-### Pull Requests documentation builds
-
-When opening a PR to the `develop` branch on GitHub, the page corresponding to
-the PR (`https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/pull/<pr_number>`) will have
-a summary at the bottom. This requires the user be logged in to GitHub.
-
-- There, click `Show all checks` and `Details` of the Read the Docs pipeline. It
-  will take you to `https://readthedocs.com/projects/advanced-micro-devices-rocm/
-  builds/<some_build_num>/`
-  - The list of commands shown are the exact ones used by CI to produce a render
-    of the documentation.
-- There, click on the small blue link `View docs` (which is not the same as the
-  bigger button with the same text). It will take you to the built HTML site with
-  a URL of the form `https://
-  advanced-micro-devices-demo--<pr_number>.com.readthedocs.build/projects/alpha/en
-  /<pr_number>/`.
-
-### Build the docs using VS Code
-
-One can put together a productive environment to author documentation and also
-test it locally using VS Code with only a handful of extensions. Even though the
-extension landscape of VS Code is ever changing, here is one example setup that
-proved useful at the time of writing. In it, one can change/add content, build a
-new version of the docs using a single VS Code Task (or hotkey), see all errors/
-warnings emitted by Sphinx in the Problems pane and immediately see the
-resulting website show up on a locally serving web server.
-
-#### Configuring VS Code
-
-1. Install the following extensions:
-
-    - Python (ms-python.python)
-    - Live Server (ritwickdey.LiveServer)
-
-2. Add the following entries in `.vscode/settings.json`
-
-    ```json
-    {
-      "liveServer.settings.root": "/.vscode/build/html",
-      "liveServer.settings.wait": 1000,
-      "python.terminal.activateEnvInCurrentTerminal": true
-    }
-    ```
-
-    The settings in order are set for the following reasons:
-    - Sets the root of the output website for live previews. Must be changed
-      alongside the `tasks.json` command.
-    - Tells live server to wait with the update to give time for Sphinx to
-      regenerate site contents and not refresh before all is don. (Empirical value)
-    - Automatic virtual env activation is a nice touch, should you want to build
-      the site from the integrated terminal.
-
-3. Add the following tasks in `.vscode/tasks.json`
-
-    ```json
-    {
-      "version": "2.0.0",
-      "tasks": [
-        {
-          "label": "Build Docs",
-          "type": "process",
-          "windows": {
-            "command": "${workspaceFolder}/.venv/Scripts/python.exe"
-          },
-          "command": "${workspaceFolder}/.venv/bin/python3",
-          "args": [
-            "-m",
-            "sphinx",
-            "-j",
-            "auto",
-            "-T",
-            "-b",
-            "html",
-            "-d",
-            "${workspaceFolder}/.vscode/build/doctrees",
-            "-D",
-            "language=en",
-            "${workspaceFolder}/docs",
-            "${workspaceFolder}/.vscode/build/html"
-          ],
-          "problemMatcher": [
-            {
-              "owner": "sphinx",
-              "fileLocation": "absolute",
-              "pattern": {
-                "regexp": "^(?:.*\\.{3}\\s+)?(\\/[^:]*|[a-zA-Z]:\\\\[^:]*):(\\d+):\\s+(WARNING|ERROR):\\s+(.*)$",
-                "file": 1,
-                "line": 2,
-                "severity": 3,
-                "message": 4
-              },
-            },
-            {
-              "owner": "sphinx",
-              "fileLocation": "absolute",
-              "pattern": {
-                "regexp": "^(?:.*\\.{3}\\s+)?(\\/[^:]*|[a-zA-Z]:\\\\[^:]*):{1,2}\\s+(WARNING|ERROR):\\s+(.*)$",
-                "file": 1,
-                "severity": 2,
-                "message": 3
-              }
-            }
-          ],
-          "group": {
-            "kind": "build",
-            "isDefault": true
-          }
-        },
-      ],
-    }
-    ```
-
-    > (Implementation detail: two problem matchers were needed to be defined,
-    > because VS Code doesn't tolerate some problem information being potentially
-    > absent. While a single regex could match all types of errors, if a capture
-    > group remains empty (the line number doesn't show up in all warning/error
-    > messages) but the `pattern` references said empty capture group, VS Code
-    > discards the message completely.)
-
-4. Configure Python virtual environment (venv)
-
-    - From the Command Palette, run `Python: Create Environment`
-      - Select `venv` environment and the `docs/sphinx/requirements.txt` file.
-      _(Simply pressing enter while hovering over the file from the dropdown is
-      insufficient, one has to select the radio button with the 'Space' key if
-      using the keyboard.)_
-
-5. Build the docs
-
-    - Launch the default build Task using either:
-      - a hotkey _(default is 'Ctrl+Shift+B')_ or
-      - by issuing the `Tasks: Run Build Task` from the Command Palette.
-
-6. Open the live preview
-
-    - Navigate to the output of the site within VS Code, right-click on
-    `.vscode/build/html/index.html` and select `Open with Live Server`. The
-    contents should update on every rebuild without having to refresh the
-    browser.

-# AMD ROCm™ Platform
 
-ROCm™ is an open-source stack for GPU computation. ROCm is primarily Open-Source
-Software (OSS) that allows developers the freedom to customize and tailor their
-GPU software for their own needs while collaborating with a community of other
-developers, and helping each other find solutions in an agile, flexible, rapid
-and secure manner.
 
-ROCm is a collection of drivers, development tools and APIs enabling GPU
-programming from the low-level kernel to end-user applications. ROCm is powered
-by AMD’s Heterogeneous-computing Interface for Portability (HIP), an OSS C++ GPU
-programming environment and its corresponding runtime. HIP allows ROCm
-developers to create portable applications on different platforms by deploying
-code on a range of platforms, from dedicated gaming GPUs to exascale HPC
-clusters. ROCm supports programming models such as OpenMP and OpenCL, and
-includes all the necessary OSS compilers, debuggers and libraries. ROCm is fully
-integrated into ML frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow. ROCm can be
-deployed in many ways, including through the use of containers such as Docker,
-Spack, and your own build from source.
+# AMD ROCm™ v4.5.2 Release Notes 
 
-ROCm’s goal is to allow our users to maximize their GPU hardware investment.
-ROCm is designed to help develop, test and deploy GPU accelerated HPC, AI,
-scientific computing, CAD, and other applications in a free, open-source,
-integrated and secure software ecosystem.
+This document describes the features, fixed issues, and information about downloading and installing the AMD ROCm™ software. It also covers known issues and deprecations in this release.
 
-This repository contains the manifest file for ROCm™ releases, changelogs, and
-release information. The file default.xml contains information for all
-repositories and the associated commit used to build the current ROCm release.
+## INSTALLATION GUIDE UPDATES FOR ROCM V4.5.2 
 
-The default.xml file uses the repo Manifest format.
+In this release, users have the option to install the kernel mode driver using the Installer method. Some of the ROCm-specific use cases that the installer currently supports are:    
 
-The develop branch of this repository contains content for the next
-ROCm release.

+
+
+## HIP ENHANCEMENTS
+
+
+The ROCm v4.5.2 release consists of the following HIP enhancement. 
+
+### Changes to the roc-obj-ls Tool 
+
+The roc-obj-ls tool is corrected in ROCm v4.5.2, and the command roc-obj-ls <exe> | roc-obj-extract is no longer the preferred syntax.   
+
+Use the roc-obj tool with the following correct command:  
+
+```   
+
+        roc-obj <exe> 
+ 
+ ```   
+
+For example, 
+
+Extract all ROCm code objects from a list of executables 
+ 
+ ```   
+
+       roc-obj <executable>... 
+ 
+ ```   
+
+Extract all ROCm code objects from a list of executables, and disassemble them 
+ 
+ ```   
+
+       roc-obj --disassemble <executable>... 
+ 
+       # or 
+
+       roc-obj -d <executable>... 
+
+ ```   
+
+Extract all ROCm code objects from a list of executables into dir/ 
+ 
+ ```   
+
+       roc-obj --outdir dir/ <executable>... 
+
+       # or 
+
+       roc-obj -o dir/ <executable>... 
+
+ ```   
+
+Extract only ROCm code objects matching regex over Target ID 
+ 
+ ```   
+
+       roc-obj --target-id gfx9 <executable>... 
+
+        # or 
+
+       roc-obj -t gfx9 <executable>... 
+
+```    
+
+For more information, refer to the HIP Programming Guide at:  
+
+https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/blob/master/AMD_HIP_Programming_Guide.pdf
+
+
+ ## OPENMP DEFECT FIX
+
+Previously, ROCProfiler crashed when the following ROCProfiler options were used in OpenMP programs: 
+
+* --stats  
+
+* --hsa-trace 
+
+This issue is fixed in the OpenMP plugin by ensuring that the contents of a kernel dispatch packet are not accessed after publishing it. The issue is also fixed in ROCTracer by ensuring that the registered exit function is called before the runtime library is closed. 
+

+
+
+## Enhanced Installation Process for ROCm v4.5
+
+In addition to the installation method using the native Package Manager, AMD ROCm v4.5 introduces added methods to install ROCm. With this
+release, the ROCm installation uses the *amdgpu-install* and *amdgpu-uninstall* scripts. 
+
+The *amdgpu-install* script streamlines the installation process by:
+
+-   Abstracting the distribution-specific package installation logic
+
+-   Performing the repository set-up
+

+
+# What's New in This Release 
+
+## HIP Enhancements
+
+The ROCm v4.5 release consists of the following HIP enhancements:
+
+### HIP Direct Dispatch
+
+The conventional producer-consumer model where the host thread(producer) enqueues commands to a command queue (per stream), which is then
+processed by a separate, per-stream worker thread (consumer) created by the runtime, is no longer applicable.
+
+In this release, for Direct Dispatch, the runtime directly queues a packet to the AQL queue (user mode queue to GPU) in Dispatch and some of
+the synchronization. This new functionality indicates the total latency of the HIP Dispatch API and the latency to launch the first wave on the
+GPU.
+
+In addition, eliminating the threads in runtime has reduced the variance in the dispatch numbers as the thread scheduling delays and
+atomics/locks synchronization latencies are reduced.
+
+This feature can be disabled by setting the following environment variable,
+
+```     
+     AMD_DIRECT_DISPATCH=0
 
-python3 -m sphinx -T -E -b html -d _build/doctrees -D language=en . _build/html
 ```
 
-## Older ROCm™ Releases
+### Support for HIP Graph 
+
+ROCm v4.5 extends support for HIP Graph. For details, refer to the HIP API Guide at
+
+https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/blob/master/AMD-HIP-API-4.5.pdf
+
+### Enhanced *launch_bounds* Check Error Log Message 
+
+When a kernel is launched with HIP APIs, for example, hipModuleLaunchKernel(), HIP validates to check that input kernel
+dimension size is not larger than specified launch_bounds.
+
+If exceeded, HIP returns launch failure if AMD_LOG_LEVEL is set with the proper value. Users can find more information in the error log message,
+including launch parameters of kernel dim size, launch bounds, and the name of the faulting kernel. It is helpful to figure out the faulting
+kernel. Besides, the kernel dim size and launch bounds values will also assist in debugging such failures.
+
+For more details, refer to the HIP Programming Guide at
+
+https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/blob/master/AMD_HIP_Programming_Guide.pdf
+
+
+### HIP Runtime Compilation
+
+HIP now supports runtime compilation (hipRTC), the usage of which will provide the possibility of optimizations and performance improvement
+compared with other APIs via regular offline static compilation. 
+
+hipRTC APIs accept HIP source files in character string format as input parameters and create handles of programs by compiling the HIP source
+files without spawning separate processes.
+
+For more details on hipRTC APIs, refer to the HIP API Guide at
+
+https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/blob/master/AMD-HIP-API-4.5.pdf
+
+### New Flag for Backwards Compatibility on float/double atomicAdd Function
+
+In the ROCm4.5 release, a new compilation flag is introduced as an option in the CMAKE file. This flag ensures backwards compatibility in
+float/double atomicAdd functions.
+
+```   
+     \_\_HIP_USE_CMPXCHG_FOR_FP_ATOMICS
+```   
+
+This compilation flag is not set("0") by default, so the HIP runtime uses the current float/double atomicAdd functions.
+
+If this compilation flag is set to "1" with the CMAKE option, the existing float/double atomicAdd functions is used for compatibility with
+compilers that do not support floating point atomics.
+
+```  
+     D\_\_HIP_USE_CMPXCHG_FOR_FP_ATOMICS=1
+```  
+For details on how to build the HIP runtime, refer to the HIP Programming Guide at
+
+https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/blob/master/AMD_HIP_Programming_Guide.pdf
+
+
+
+### Updated HIP Version Definition
+
+The HIP version definition is updated as follows:
+
+```  
+     HIP_VERSION=HIP_VERSION_MAJOR * 10000000 + HIP_VERSION_MINOR *
+     100000 + HIP_VERSION_PATCH)
+```  
+
+The HIP version can be queried from the following HIP API call,
+
+```  
+     hipRuntimeGetVersion(&runtimeVersion);
+```  
+
+The version returned is always greater than the versions in the previous ROCm releases.
+
+**Note:** The version definition of the HIP runtime is different from that of CUDA. The function returns the HIP runtime version on the AMD
+platform, while on the NVIDIA platform, it returns the CUDA runtime version. There is no mapping or a correlation between the HIP and CUDA
+versions.
+
+
+
+### Planned HIP Enhancements and Fixes
+
+#### Changes to hiprtc implementation to match nvrtc behavior
+
+In this release, there are changes to the *hiprtc* implementation to
+match the *nvrtc* behavior.
+
+**Impact:** Applications can no longer explicitly include HIP runtime header files. Minor code changes are required to remove the HIP runtime
+header files.
+
+#### HIP device attribute enumeration
+
+In a future release, there will be a breaking change in the HIP device attribute enumeration. Enum values are being rearranged to accommodate
+future enhancements and additions.
+
+**Impact:** This will require users to rebuild their applications. No code changes are required.
+
+#### Changes to behavior of hipGetLastError() and hipPeekAtLastError() to match CUDA behavior available
+
+In a later release, changes to behavior of hipGetLastError() and hipPeekAtLastError() to match CUDA behavior will be available.
+
+**Impact:** Applications relying on the previous behavior will be impacted and may require some code changes.
+
+## Unified Memory Support in ROCm
+
+Unified memory allows applications to map and migrate data between CPU and GPU seamlessly without explicitly copying it between different
+allocations. This enables a more complete implementation of *hipMallocManaged*, *hipMemAdvise*, *hipMemPrefetchAsync* and related
+APIs. Without unified memory, these APIs only support system memory. With unified memory, the driver can automatically migrate such memory to
+GPU memory for faster access.
+
+### Supported Operating Systems and Versions
+
+This feature is only supported on recent Linux kernels. Currently, it works on Ubuntu versions with 5.6 or newer kernels and the DKMS driver
+from ROCm. Current releases of RHEL and SLES do not support this feature yet. Future releases of those distributions will add support for this.
+The unified memory feature is also supported in the KFD driver included with upstream kernels starting from Linux 5.14.
+
+Unified memory only works on GFXv9 and later GPUs, including Vega10 and MI100. Fiji, Polaris and older GPUs are not supported. To check whether
+unified memory is enabled, look in the kernel log for this message:
+
+```  
+     \$ dmesg \| grep \"HMM registered"
+```  
+
+If unified memory is enabled, there should be a message like "HMM registered xyzMB device memory". If unified memory is not supported on
+your GPU or kernel version, this message is missing.
+
+### Unified Memory Support and XNACK
+
+Unified memory support comes in two flavours, XNACK-enabled and XNACK-disabled. XNACK refers to the ability of the GPU to handle page
+faults gracefully and retry a memory access. In XNACK-enabled mode, the GPU can handle retry after page-faults, which enables mapping and
+migrating data on demand, as well as memory overcommitment. In XNACK-disabled mode, all memory must be resident and mapped in the GPU
+page tables when the GPU is executing application code. Any migrations involve temporary preemption of the GPU queues by the driver. Both page
+fault handling and preemptions, happen automatically and are transparent to the applications.
+
+XNACK-enabled mode only has experimental support. XNACK-enabled mode requires compiling shader code differently. By default, the ROCm
+compiler builds code that works in both modes. Code can be optimized for one specific mode with compiler options:
+
+OpenCL:
+
+```  
+     clang \... -mcpu=gfx908:xnack+:sramecc- \... // xnack on, sramecc off\
+     clang \... -mcpu=gfx908:xnack-:sramecc+ \... // xnack off, sramecc on
+```  
+
+HIP:
+```  
+     clang \... \--cuda-gpu-arch=gfx906:xnack+ \... // xnack on\
+     clang \... \--cuda-gpu-arch=gfx906:xnack- \... // xnack off
+```  
+Not all the math libraries included in ROCm support XNACK-enabled mode on current hardware. Applications will fail to run if their shaders are
+compiled in the incorrect mode.
+
+On current hardware, the XNACK mode can be chosen at boot-time by a module parameter amdgpu.noretry. The default is XNACK-disabled
+(amdgpu.noretry=1).
+
+## System Management Interface 
+
+### Enhanced ROCm SMI --setpoweroverdrive Functionality
+
+The ROCm System Management Interface (SMI) *--setpoweroverdrive* functionality is used to lower the power cap on a device without needing
+to enable the OverDrive functionality in the driver. Similarly, even with the OverDrive driver functionality enabled, it is possible to
+request a lower power cap than the card's default.
+
+Currently, any use of the *--setpoweroverdrive* functionality in rocm-smi prints an out-of-spec warning to the screen and requires the
+user to agree that using this functionality potentially voids their warranty. However, this warning should only be printed when users are
+trying to set the power cap to higher than the card's default, which requires the OverDrive driver functionality to be enabled.
+
+For example:
+
+The default power cap is 225.0W before any changes.
+
+```
+
+     \[atitest\@rhel85 smi\]\$ ./rocm_smi.py --resetpoweroverdrive
+     ======================= ROCm System Management Interface =======================
+
+     ========================== Reset GPU Power OverDrive ===========================
+
+     GPU\[0\] : Successfully reset Power OverDrive to: 225W
+     ============================ End of ROCm SMI Log ============================
+
+     Now, after using --setpoweroverdrive to lower the power cap to 123
+     watts:
+
+     \[atitest\@rhel85 smi\]\$ ./rocm_smi.py --setpoweroverdrive 123
+     ======================= ROCm System Management Interface =======================
+
+     =========================== Set GPU Power OverDrive ============================
+
+     GPU\[0\] : Successfully set power to: 123W
+     ======================= End of ROCm SMI Log ==============================
+
+     Setting a power cap lower than the default of 225.0W (in this case,
+     123W) does not give a warning.
+
+     To verify that the power is set to the correct value:
+
+     \[atitest\@rhel85 smi\]\$ ./rocm_smi.py --showmaxpower
+     ======================= ROCm System Management Interface =======================
+
+     ======================== Power Cap ===================================
+
+     GPU\[0\] : Max Graphics Package Power (W): 123.0
+     ========================End of ROCm SMI Log ==============================
+```
+
+
+## OpenMP Enhancements
+
+The ROCm installation includes an LLVM-based implementation, which fully supports OpenMP 4.5 standard and a subset of the OpenMP 5.0 standard.
+Fortran and C/C++ compilers and corresponding runtime libraries are included. Along with host APIs, the OpenMP compilers support offloading
+code and data onto GPU devices.

+
+# Known Issues in This Release 
+
+The following are the known issues in this release.
+
+## clinfo and rocminfo Do Not Display Marketing Name
+
+clinfo and rocminfo display a blank field for Marketing Name. 
+
+This is due to a missing package that is not yet available from ROCm. This package will be distributed in future ROCm releases.
+
+## Compiler Support for Function Pointers and Virtual Functions
+
+A known issue in the compiler support for function pointers and virtual functions on the GPU may cause undefined behavior due to register
+corruption. 
+
+A temporary workaround is to compile the affected application with this option:
+
+```
+     -mllvm -amdgpu-fixed-function-abi=1
+     
+ ```
+
+**Note:** This is an internal compiler flag and may be removed without notice once the issue is addressed in a future release.
+
+
+## Debugger Process Exit May Cause ROCgdb Internal Error
+
+If the debugger process exits during debugging, ROCgdb may report internal errors. This issue occurs as it attempts to access the AMD GPU
+state for the exited process. To recover, users must restart ROCgdb.
+ 
+As a workaround, users can set breakpoints to prevent the debugged process from exiting. For example, users can set breakpoints at the last
+statement of the main function and in the abort() and exit() functions. This temporary solution allows the application to be re-run without
+restarting ROCgdb.
+
+This issue is currently under investigation and will be fixed in a future release.
+
+For more information, refer to the ROCgdb User Guide at,
+
+https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/blob/master/ROCDebugger_User_Guide.pdf
+
+## Cache Issues with ROCProfiler
+
+When the same kernel is launched back-to-back multiple times on a GPU, a cache flush is executed each time the kernel finishes when profiler data is collected. The cache flush is inserted by ROCprofiler for each kernel. This prevents kernel from being cached, instead it is being read each time it is launched. As a result the cache hit rate from rocprofiler is reported as 0% or very low.
+
+This issue is under investigation and will be fixed in a future release. 
+
+## Stability Issue on LAMMPS-KOKKOS Applications
+
+On mGPU machines, lammps-kokkos applications experience a stability issue (AMD Instinct MI100™). 
+
+As a workaround, perform a Translation LookAside Buffer (TLB) flush. 
+
+The issue is under active investigation and will be resolved in a future release.
+
+
+
+# Deprecations
+
+## AMD Instinct MI25 End of Life
+
+ROCm release v4.5 is the final release to support AMD Instinct MI25. AMD Instinct MI25 has reached End of Life (EOL). ROCm 4.5 represents the
+last certified release for software and driver support. AMD will continue to provide technical support and issue resolution for AMD
+Instinct MI25 on ROCm v4.5 for a period of 12 months from the software GA date. 
+
+## Planned Deprecation for Code Object Versions 2 and 3 
+
+With the ROCm v4.5 release, the generation of code object versions 2 and 3 is being deprecated and may be removed in a future release. This deprecation notice does not impact support for the execution of AMD GPU code object versions.
+
+The -mcode-object-version Clang option can be used to instruct the compiler to generate a specific AMD GPU code object version. In ROCm v4.5, the compiler can generate AMD GPU code object version 2, 3, and 4, with version 4 being the default if not specified. 
+
+
+
+# Deploying ROCm
+
+AMD hosts both Debian and RPM repositories for the ROCm packages.

+
+
+
+# Hardware and Software Support
+ROCm is focused on using AMD GPUs to accelerate computational tasks such as machine learning, engineering workloads, and scientific computing.
+In order to focus our development efforts on these domains of interest, ROCm supports a targeted set of hardware configurations which are detailed further in this section.
+
+**Note:** The AMD ROCm™ open software platform is a compute stack for headless system deployments. GUI-based software applications are currently not supported.
+
+#### Supported GPUs
+Because the ROCm Platform has a focus on particular computational domains, we offer official support for a selection of AMD GPUs that are designed to offer good performance and price in these domains.
+
+**Note:** The integrated GPUs of Ryzen are not officially supported targets for ROCm.
+
+ROCm officially supports AMD GPUs that use following chips:
+
+* GFX9 GPUs
+
+  - "Vega 10" chips, such as on the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 and Radeon Instinct MI25
+  
+  - "Vega 7nm" chips, such as on the Radeon Instinct MI50, Radeon Instinct MI60 or AMD Radeon VII, Radeon Pro VII
+
+* CDNA GPUs
+
+  - MI100 chips such as on the AMD Instinct™ MI100
+
+
+ROCm is a collection of software ranging from drivers and runtimes to libraries and developer tools.
+Some of this software may work with more GPUs than the "officially supported" list above, though AMD does not make any official claims of support for these devices on the ROCm software platform.
+
+The following list of GPUs are enabled in the ROCm software, though full support is not guaranteed:
+
+  * GFX8 GPUs
+    * "Polaris 11" chips, such as on the AMD Radeon RX 570 and Radeon Pro WX 4100
+    * "Polaris 12" chips, such as on the AMD Radeon RX 550 and Radeon RX 540
+  * GFX7 GPUs
+    * "Hawaii" chips, such as the AMD Radeon R9 390X and FirePro W9100
+
+As described in the next section, GFX8 GPUs require PCI Express 3.0 (PCIe 3.0) with support for PCIe atomics. This requires both CPU and motherboard support. GFX9 GPUs require PCIe 3.0 with support for PCIe atomics by default, but they can operate in most cases without this capability.
+
+The integrated GPUs in AMD APUs are not officially supported targets for ROCm.
+As described [below](#limited-support), "Carrizo", "Bristol Ridge", and "Raven Ridge" APUs are enabled in our upstream drivers and the ROCm OpenCL runtime.
+However, they are not enabled in the HIP runtime, and may not work due to motherboard or OEM hardware limitations.
+As such, they are not yet officially supported targets for ROCm.
+
+For a more detailed list of hardware support, please see [the following documentation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units).
+
+#### Supported CPUs
+As described above, GFX8 GPUs require PCIe 3.0 with PCIe atomics in order to run ROCm.
+In particular, the CPU and every active PCIe point between the CPU and GPU require support for PCIe 3.0 and PCIe atomics.
+The CPU root must indicate PCIe AtomicOp Completion capabilities and any intermediate switch must indicate PCIe AtomicOp Routing capabilities.
+
+Current CPUs which support PCIe Gen3 + PCIe Atomics are:
+
+  * AMD Ryzen CPUs
+  * The CPUs in AMD Ryzen APUs
+  * AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPUs
+  * AMD EPYC CPUs
+  * Intel Xeon E7 v3 or newer CPUs
+  * Intel Xeon E5 v3 or newer CPUs
+  * Intel Xeon E3 v3 or newer CPUs
+  * Intel Core i7 v4, Core i5 v4, Core i3 v4 or newer CPUs (i.e. Haswell family or newer)
+  * Some Ivy Bridge-E systems
+
+Beginning with ROCm 1.8, GFX9 GPUs (such as Vega 10) no longer require PCIe atomics.
+We have similarly opened up more options for number of PCIe lanes.
+GFX9 GPUs can now be run on CPUs without PCIe atomics and on older PCIe generations, such as PCIe 2.0.
+This is not supported on GPUs below GFX9, e.g. GFX8 cards in the Fiji and Polaris families.
+
+If you are using any PCIe switches in your system, please note that PCIe Atomics are only supported on some switches, such as Broadcom PLX.
+When you install your GPUs, make sure you install them in a PCIe 3.1.0 x16, x8, x4, or x1 slot attached either directly to the CPU's Root I/O controller or via a PCIe switch directly attached to the CPU's Root I/O controller.
+
+In our experience, many issues stem from trying to use consumer motherboards which provide physical x16 connectors that are electrically connected as e.g. PCIe 2.0 x4, PCIe slots connected via the Southbridge PCIe I/O controller, or PCIe slots connected through a PCIe switch that does
+not support PCIe atomics.
+
+If you attempt to run ROCm on a system without proper PCIe atomic support, you may see an error in the kernel log (`dmesg`):
+```
+kfd: skipped device 1002:7300, PCI rejects atomics
+```
+
+Experimental support for our Hawaii (GFX7) GPUs (Radeon R9 290, R9 390, FirePro W9100, S9150, S9170)
+does not require or take advantage of PCIe Atomics. However, we still recommend that you use a CPU
+from the list provided above for compatibility purposes.
+
+#### Not supported or limited support under ROCm
+
+##### Limited support
+
+* ROCm 4.x should support PCIe 2.0 enabled CPUs such as the AMD Opteron, Phenom, Phenom II, Athlon, Athlon X2, Athlon II and older Intel Xeon and Intel Core Architecture and Pentium CPUs. However, we have done very limited testing on these configurations, since our test farm has been catering to CPUs listed above. This is where we need community support. _If you find problems on such setups, please report these issues_.
+* Thunderbolt 1, 2, and 3 enabled breakout boxes should now be able to work with ROCm. Thunderbolt 1 and 2 are PCIe 2.0 based, and thus are only supported with GPUs that do not require PCIe 3.1.0 atomics (e.g. Vega 10). However, we have done no testing on this configuration and would need community support due to limited access to this type of equipment.
+* AMD "Carrizo" and "Bristol Ridge" APUs are enabled to run OpenCL, but do not yet support HIP or our libraries built on top of these compilers and runtimes.
+  * As of ROCm 2.1, "Carrizo" and "Bristol Ridge" require the use of upstream kernel drivers.
+  * In addition, various "Carrizo" and "Bristol Ridge" platforms may not work due to OEM and ODM choices when it comes to key configurations parameters such as inclusion of the required CRAT tables and IOMMU configuration parameters in the system BIOS.
+  * Before purchasing such a system for ROCm, please verify that the BIOS provides an option for enabling IOMMUv2 and that the system BIOS properly exposes the correct CRAT table. Inquire with your vendor about the latter.
+* AMD "Raven Ridge" APUs are enabled to run OpenCL, but do not yet support HIP or our libraries built on top of these compilers and runtimes.
+  * As of ROCm 2.1, "Raven Ridge" requires the use of upstream kernel drivers.
+  * In addition, various "Raven Ridge" platforms may not work due to OEM and ODM choices when it comes to key configurations parameters such as inclusion of the required CRAT tables and IOMMU configuration parameters in the system BIOS.
+  * Before purchasing such a system for ROCm, please verify that the BIOS provides an option for enabling IOMMUv2 and that the system BIOS properly exposes the correct CRAT table. Inquire with your vendor about the latter.
+
+##### Not supported
+
+* "Tonga", "Iceland", "Vega M", and "Vega 12" GPUs are not supported.
+* We do not support GFX8-class GPUs (Fiji, Polaris, etc.) on CPUs that do not have PCIe 3.0 with PCIe atomics.
+  * As such, we do not support AMD Carrizo and Kaveri APUs as hosts for such GPUs.
+  * Thunderbolt 1 and 2 enabled GPUs are not supported by GFX8 GPUs on ROCm. Thunderbolt 1 & 2 are based on PCIe 2.0.
+
+In the default ROCm configuration, GFX8 and GFX9 GPUs require PCI Express 3.0 with PCIe atomics. The ROCm platform leverages these advanced capabilities to allow features such as user-level submission of work from the host to the GPU. This includes PCIe atomic Fetch and Add, Compare and Swap, Unconditional Swap, and AtomicOp Completion.
+
+#### ROCm support in upstream Linux kernels
+
+As of ROCm 1.9.0, the ROCm user-level software is compatible with the AMD drivers in certain upstream Linux kernels.
+As such, users have the option of either using the ROCK kernel driver that are part of AMD's ROCm repositories or using the upstream driver and only installing ROCm user-level utilities from AMD's ROCm repositories.
+
+These releases of the upstream Linux kernel support the following GPUs in ROCm:
+ * 4.17: Fiji, Polaris 10, Polaris 11
+ * 4.18: Fiji, Polaris 10, Polaris 11, Vega10
+ * 4.20: Fiji, Polaris 10, Polaris 11, Vega10, Vega 7nm
+
+The upstream driver may be useful for running ROCm software on systems that are not compatible with the kernel driver available in AMD's repositories.
+For users that have the option of using either AMD's or the upstreamed driver, there are various tradeoffs to take into consideration:
+
+|   | Using AMD's `rock-dkms` package | Using the upstream kernel driver |
+| ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------| ----- |
+| Pros | More GPU features, and they are enabled earlier | Includes the latest Linux kernel features |
+|      | Tested by AMD on supported distributions | May work on other distributions and with custom kernels |
+|      | Supported GPUs enabled regardless of kernel version | |
+|      | Includes the latest GPU firmware | |
+| Cons | May not work on all Linux distributions or versions | Features and hardware support varies depending on kernel version |
+|      | Not currently supported on kernels newer than 5.4 | Limits GPU's usage of system memory to 3/8 of system memory (before 5.6). For 5.6 and beyond, both DKMS and upstream kernels allow use of 15/16 of system memory. |
+|      |   | IPC and RDMA capabilities are not yet enabled |
+|      |   | Not tested by AMD to the same level as `rock-dkms` package |
+|      |   | Does not include most up-to-date firmware |

-<!-- markdownlint-disable first-line-h1 -->
-<!-- markdownlint-disable no-duplicate-header -->
-### What's New in This Release
-
-#### HIP Enhancements
-
-The ROCm v5.2 release consists of the following HIP enhancements:
-
-##### HIP Installation Guide Updates
-
-The HIP Installation Guide is updated to include building HIP tests from source on the AMD and NVIDIA platforms.
-
-For more details, refer to the HIP Installation Guide v5.2.
-
-##### Support for device-side malloc on HIP-Clang
-
-HIP-Clang now supports device-side malloc. This implementation does not require the use of `hipDeviceSetLimit(hipLimitMallocHeapSize,value)` nor respect any setting. The heap is fully dynamic and can grow until the available free memory on the device is consumed.
-
-The test codes at the following link show how to implement applications using malloc and free functions in device kernels:
-
-<https://github.com/ROCm-Developer-Tools/HIP/blob/develop/tests/src/deviceLib/hipDeviceMalloc.cpp>

-
-For more information, refer to the HIP API documentation at
-{doc}`hip:.doxygen/docBin/html/modules`.
-
-##### Planned HIP Changes in Future Releases
-
-Changes to `hipDeviceProp_t`, `HIPMEMCPY_3D`, and `hipArray` structures (and related HIP APIs) are planned in the next major release. These changes may impact backward compatibility.
-
-Refer to the Release Notes document in subsequent releases for more information.
-ROCm Math and Communication Libraries
-
-In this release, ROCm Math and Communication Libraries consist of the following enhancements and fixes:
-New rocWMMA for Matrix Multiplication and Accumulation Operations Acceleration
-
-This release introduces a new ROCm C++ library for accelerating mixed precision matrix multiplication and accumulation (MFMA) operations leveraging specialized GPU matrix cores. rocWMMA provides a C++ API to facilitate breaking down matrix multiply accumulate problems into fragments and using them in block-wise operations that are distributed in parallel across GPU wavefronts. The API is a header library of GPU device code, meaning matrix core acceleration may be compiled directly into your kernel device code. This can benefit from compiler optimization in the generation of kernel assembly and does not incur additional overhead costs of linking to external runtime libraries or having to launch separate kernels.
-
-rocWMMA is released as a header library and includes test and sample projects to validate and illustrate example usages of the C++ API. GEMM matrix multiplication is used as primary validation given the heavy precedent for the library. However, the usage portfolio is growing significantly and demonstrates different ways rocWMMA may be consumed.
-
-For more information, refer to
-[Communication Libraries](../../../../docs/reference/gpu_libraries/communication.md).
-
-#### OpenMP Enhancements in This Release
-
-##### OMPT Target Support
-
-The OpenMP runtime in ROCm implements a subset of the OMPT device APIs, as described in the OpenMP specification document. These are APIs that allow first-party tools to examine the profile and traces for kernels that execute on a device. A tool may register callbacks for data transfer and kernel dispatch entry points. A tool may use APIs to start and stop tracing for device-related activities such as data transfer and kernel dispatch timings and associated metadata. If device tracing is enabled, trace records for device activities are collected during program execution and returned to the tool using the APIs described in the specification.
-
-Following is an example demonstrating how a tool would use the OMPT target APIs supported. The README in /opt/rocm/llvm/examples/tools/ompt outlines the steps to follow, and you can run the provided example as indicated below:
-
-```sh
-cd /opt/rocm/llvm/examples/tools/ompt/veccopy-ompt-target-tracing
-make run
-```
-
-The file `veccopy-ompt-target-tracing.c` simulates how a tool would initiate device activity tracing. The file `callbacks.h` shows the callbacks that may be registered and implemented by the tool.
-
-### Deprecations and Warnings
-
-#### Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard for ROCm
-
-ROCm packages have adopted the Linux foundation filesystem hierarchy standard in this release to ensure ROCm components follow open source conventions for Linux-based distributions. While moving to a new filesystem hierarchy, ROCm ensures backward compatibility with its 5.1 version or older filesystem hierarchy. See below for a detailed explanation of the new filesystem hierarchy and backward compatibility.
-
-##### New Filesystem Hierarchy
-
-The following is the new filesystem hierarchy:
-
-```text
-/opt/rocm-<ver>
-    | --bin
-      | --All externally exposed Binaries
-    | --libexec
-        | --<component>
-            | -- Component specific private non-ISA executables (architecture independent)
-    | --include
-        | -- <component>
-            | --<header files>
-    | --lib
-        | --lib<soname>.so -> lib<soname>.so.major -> lib<soname>.so.major.minor.patch
-            (public libraries linked with application)
-        | --<component> (component specific private library, executable data)
-        | --<cmake>
-            | --components
-                | --<component>.config.cmake
-    | --share
-        | --html/<component>/*.html
-        | --info/<component>/*.[pdf, md, txt]
-        | --man
-        | --doc
-            | --<component>
-                | --<licenses>
-        | --<component>
-            | --<misc files> (arch independent non-executable)
-            | --samples
-
-```
-
-> **Note**
->
-> ROCm will not support backward compatibility with the v5.1(old) file system hierarchy in its next major release.
-
-For more information, refer to <https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/fhs.shtml>.
-
-##### Backward Compatibility with Older Filesystems
-
-ROCm has moved header files and libraries to its new location as indicated in the above structure and included symbolic-link and wrapper header files in its old location for backward compatibility.
-
-> **Note**
->
-> ROCm will continue supporting backward compatibility until the next major release.
-
-##### Wrapper header files
-
-Wrapper header files are placed in the old location (`/opt/rocm-xxx/<component>/include`) with a warning message to include files from the new location (`/opt/rocm-xxx/include`) as shown in the example below:
-
-```h
-// Code snippet from hip_runtime.h
-#pragma message “This file is deprecated. Use file from include path /opt/rocm-ver/include/ and prefix with hip”.
-#include "hip/hip_runtime.h"
-```
-
-The wrapper header files’ backward compatibility deprecation is as follows:
-
-- `#pragma` message announcing deprecation -- ROCm v5.2 release
-- `#pragma` message changed to `#warning` -- Future release
-- `#warning` changed to `#error` -- Future release
-- Backward compatibility wrappers removed -- Future release
-
-##### Library files
-
-Library files are available in the `/opt/rocm-xxx/lib` folder. For backward compatibility, the old library location (`/opt/rocm-xxx/<component>/lib`) has a soft link to the library at the new location.
-
-Example:
-
-```log
-$ ls -l /opt/rocm/hip/lib/
-total 4
-drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 May 12 10:45 cmake
-lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   24 May 10 23:32 libamdhip64.so -> ../../lib/libamdhip64.so
-```
-
-##### CMake Config files
-
-All CMake configuration files are available in the `/opt/rocm-xxx/lib/cmake/<component>` folder. For backward compatibility, the old CMake locations (`/opt/rocm-xxx/<component>/lib/cmake`) consist of a soft link to the new CMake config.
-
-Example:
-
-```log
-$ ls -l /opt/rocm/hip/lib/cmake/hip/
-total 0
-lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 May 10 23:32 hip-config.cmake -> ../../../../lib/cmake/hip/hip-config.cmake
-```
-
-#### Planned deprecation of hip-rocclr and hip-base packages
-
-In the ROCm v5.2 release, hip-rocclr and hip-base packages (Debian and RPM) are planned for deprecation and will be removed in a future release. hip-runtime-amd and hip-dev(el) will replace these packages respectively. Users of hip-rocclr must install two packages, hip-runtime-amd and hip-dev, to get the same set of packages installed by hip-rocclr previously.
-
-Currently, both package names hip-rocclr (or) hip-runtime-amd and hip-base (or) hip-dev(el) are supported.
-Deprecation of Integrated HIP Directed Tests
-
-The integrated HIP directed tests, which are currently built by default, are deprecated in this release. The default building and execution support through CMake will be removed in future release.

-### Known Issues
-
-This section consists of known issues in this release.
-
-#### Compiler Error on gfx1030 When Compiling at -O0
-
-##### Issue
-
-A compiler error occurs when using -O0 flag to compile code for gfx1030 that calls atomicAddNoRet, which is defined in amd_hip_atomic.h. The compiler generates an illegal instruction for gfx1030.
-
-##### Workaround
-
-The workaround is not to use the -O0 flag for this case. For higher optimization levels, the compiler does not generate an invalid instruction.
-
-#### System Freeze Observed During CUDA Memtest Checkpoint
-
-##### Issue
-
-Checkpoint/Restore in Userspace (CRIU) requires 20 MB of VRAM approximately to checkpoint and restore. The CRIU process may freeze if the maximum amount of available VRAM is allocated to checkpoint applications.
-
-##### Workaround
-
-To use CRIU to checkpoint and restore your application, limit the amount of VRAM the application uses to ensure at least 20 MB is available.
-
-#### HPC test fails with the “HSA_STATUS_ERROR_MEMORY_FAULT” error
-
-##### Issue
-
-The compiler may incorrectly compile a program that uses the `__shfl_sync(mask, value, srcLane)` function when the "value" parameter to the function is undefined along some path to the function. For most functions, uninitialized inputs cause undefined behavior, but the definition for `__shfl_sync` should allow for undefined values.
-
-##### Workaround
-
-The workaround is to initialize the parameters to `__shfl_sync`.
-
-> **Note**
->
-> When the `-Wall` compilation flag is used, the compiler generates a warning indicating the variable is initialized along some path.
-
-Example:
-
-```cpp
-double res = 0.0; // Initialize the input to __shfl_sync.
-if (lane == 0) {
-  res = <some expression>
-}
-res = __shfl_sync(mask, res, 0);
-```
-
-#### Kernel produces incorrect result
-
-##### Issue
-
-In recent changes to Clang, insertion of the noundef attribute to all the function arguments has been enabled by default.
-
-In the HIP kernel, variable var in shfl_sync may not be initialized, so LLVM IR treats it as undef.
-
-So, the function argument that is potentially undef (because it is not intialized) has always been assumed to be noundef by LLVM IR (since Clang has inserted noundef attribute). This leads to ambiguous kernel execution.
-
-##### Workaround
-
-- Skip adding `noundef` attribute to functions tagged with convergent  attribute. Refer to <https://reviews.llvm.org/D124158> for more information.
-
-- Introduce shuffle attribute and add it to `__shfl` like APIs at hip headers. Clang can skip adding noundef attribute, if it finds that argument is tagged with shuffle attribute. Refer to <https://reviews.llvm.org/D125378> for more information.
-
-- Introduce clang builtin for `__shfl` to identify it and skip adding `noundef` attribute.
-
-- Introduce `__builtin_freeze` to use on the relevant arguments in library wrappers. The library/header need to insert freezes on the relevant inputs.
-
-#### Issue with Applications Triggering Oversubscription
-
-There is a known issue with applications that trigger oversubscription. A hardware hang occurs when ROCgdb is used on AMD Instinct™ MI50 and MI100 systems.
-
-This issue is under investigation and will be fixed in a future release.

-# About ROCm Documentation
-
-ROCm documentation is made available under open source [licenses](licensing.md).
-Documentation is built using open source toolchains. Contributions to our
-documentation is encouraged and welcome. As a contributor, please familiarize
-yourself with our documentation toolchain.
-
-## ReadTheDocs
-
-[ReadTheDocs](https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) is our front end for the
-our documentation. By front end, this is the tool that serves our HTML based
-documentation to our end users.
-
-## Doxygen
-
-[Doxygen](https://www.doxygen.nl/) is the most common inline code documentation
-standard. ROCm projects are use Doxygen for public API documentation (unless the
-upstream project is using a different tool).
-
-## Sphinx
-
-[Sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/) is a documentation generator
-originally used for python. It is now widely used in the Open Source community.
-Originally, sphinx supported RST based documentation. Markdown support is now
-available. ROCm documentation plans to default to markdown for new projects.
-Existing projects using RST are under no obligation to convert to markdown. New
-projects that believe markdown is not suitable should contact the documentation
-team prior to selecting RST.
-
-### MyST
-
-[Markedly Structured Text (MyST)](https://myst-tools.org/docs/spec) is an extended
-flavor of Markdown ([CommonMark](https://commonmark.org/)) influenced by reStructuredText (RST) and Sphinx.
-It is integrated via [`myst-parser`](https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
-A cheat sheet that showcases how to use the MyST syntax is available over at [the Jupyter
-reference](https://jupyterbook.org/en/stable/reference/cheatsheet.html).
-
-### Sphinx Theme
-
-ROCm is using the
-[Sphinx Book Theme](https://sphinx-book-theme.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). This
-theme is used by Jupyter books. ROCm documentation applies some customization
-include a header and footer on top of the Sphinx Book Theme. A future custom
-ROCm theme will be part of our documentation goals.
-
-### Sphinx Design
-
-Sphinx Design is an extension for sphinx based websites that add design
-functionality. Please see the documentation
-[here](https://sphinx-design.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html). ROCm
-documentation uses sphinx design for grids, cards, and synchronized tabs.
-Other features may be used in the future.
-
-### Sphinx External TOC
-
-ROCm uses the
-[sphinx-external-toc](https://sphinx-external-toc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html)
-for our navigation. This tool allows a YAML file based left navigation menu. This
-tool was selected due to its flexibility that allows scripts to operate on the
-YAML file. Please transition to this file for the project's navigation. You can
-see the `_toc.yml.in` file in this repository in the docs/sphinx folder for an
-example.
-
-### Breathe
-
-Sphinx uses [Breathe](https://www.breathe-doc.org/) to integrate Doxygen
-content.
-
-## `rocm-docs-core` pip package
-
-[rocm-docs-core](https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/rocm-docs-core) is an AMD
-maintained project that applies customization for our documentation. This
-project is the tool most ROCm repositories will use as part of the documentation
-build.
