+## Are You Ready to ROCK?
+The ROCm Platform brings a rich foundation to advanced computing by seamlessly
+ integrating the CPU and GPU with the goal of solving real-world problems.
 
-On November 16th, 2015, the Radeon Technology Group rolled out Boltzmann
-Initiative with three core foundation elements:
+On April 25th, 2016, we delivered ROCm 1.0 built around three pillars:
 
-* New Linux(R) Driver and Runtime Stack optimized for HPC & Ultra-scale class
-  computing,
-* Heterogeneous C and C++ compiler which best address the whole system not just
-  a single device
-* HIP acknowledging the need for platform choice when utilizing GPU computing
-  API

+stack which provides support for key languages. This support starts with AMD’s
+Fiji family of dGPUs, and has expanded to include the Hawaii dGPU family in ROCm
+1.2. ROCm 1.3 further extends support to include the Polaris family of ASICs.
 
-### The Latest ROCm Platform - ROCm 1.1
+#### Supported CPUs
+The ROCm Platform leverages PCIe Atomics (Fetch ADD, Compare and SWAP, 
+Unconditional SWAP, AtomicsOpCompletion).
+[PCIe atomics](https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/RadeonOpenCompute.github.io/blob/master/ROCmPCIeFeatures.md)
+are only supported on PCIe Gen3 Enabled CPUs and PCIe Gen3 Switches like
+Broadcom PLX. When you install your GPUs make sure you install them in a fully
+PCIe Gen3 x16 or x8 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 Gen2 x4. This typically occurs when connecting via the 
+Southbridge PCIe I/O controller. If you motherboard is part of this category,
+please do not use this connector for your GPUs, if you intend to exploit ROCm.
+
+
+Our GFX8 GPU's (Fiji & Polaris Family) use PCIe Gen 3 and PCIe Atomics. 
+
+Current CPUs which support PCIe Gen3 + PCIe Atomics are: 
+  * 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).
+  * AMD Ryzen CPUs;
+  
+Upcoming CPUs which will support PCIe Gen3 + PCIe Atomics are:
+  * AMD Naples Server CPUs; 
+  * Cavium Thunder X Server Processor. 
+
+Our GFX7 GPUs Radeon R9 290, R9 390, AMD FirePro S9150, S9170 do not support or
+take advantage of PCIe Atomics. However, we still recommend that you use a CPU
+from the list provided above. 
+
+#### Not supported or very limited support under ROCm 
+* We do not support ROCm with PCIe Gen 2 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.  
+* We also do not support AMD Carrizo and Kaveri APU as host for compliant dGPU
+ attachments.
+* Thunderbolt 1 and 2 enabled GPU's are not supported by ROCm. Thunderbolt 1 & 2
+are PCIe Gen2 based.
+* AMD Carrizo based APUs have limited support due to OEM & ODM's choices when it
+comes to some key configuration parameters. On point, we have observed that
+Carrizo Laptops, AIOs and Desktop systems showed inconsistencies in exposing and
+enabling the System BIOS parameters required by the ROCm stack. Before
+purchasing a Carrizo system for ROCm, please verify that the BIOS provides an
+option for enabling IOMMUv2. If this is the case, the final requirement is
+associated with correct CRAT table support - please inquire with the OEM about 
+the latter.
+* AMD Merlin/Falcon Embedded System is also not currently supported by the public Repo. 
+
+#### Support for future APUs
+We are well aware of the excitement and anticipation built around using ROCm
+with an APU system which fully exposes Shared Virtual Memory alongside and cache
+coherency between the CPU and GPU. To this end, in mid 2017 we plan on testing 
+commercial AM4 motherboards for the Bristol Ridge and Raven Ridge families of 
+APUs. Just like you, we still waiting for access to them! Once we have the first
+boards in the lab we will detail our experiences via our blog, as well as build
+a list of motherboard that are qualified for use with ROCm.
+
+### New Features to ROCm 
+
+#### Developer preview of the new OpenCL 1.2 compatible language runtime and compiler
+
+ * OpenCL 2.0 compatible kernel language support with OpenCL 1.2 compatible
+   runtime 
+ * Supports offline ahead of time compilation today;
+   during the Beta phase we will add in-process/in-memory compilation. 
+ * Binary Package support for Ubuntu 16.04 and Fedora 24
+ * Dropping binary package support for Ubuntu 14.04 and Fedora 23
+ 
+#### IPC support
