-## Are You Ready to ROCK?
-The ROCm Platform bringing a rich foundation to advanced computing by better intergrating the CPU and GPU to solve realworld problems.

-On April 25th, 2016, we delivered ROCm 1.0 built around three core foundation elements:
+# AMD ROCm Release Notes v3.8.0

-Open Hetrogenous Computing Platform (Linux(R) Driver and Runtime Stack) optimized for HPC & Ultra-scale class computing
-Heterogeneous C and C++ Single Source to better address the whole system computation not just a gpu device
-HIP acknowledging the need for platform choice when utilizing GPU computing API
+This page describes the features, fixed issues, and information about downloading and installing the ROCm software.
+It also covers known issues in this release.

-Using our knowledge of the HSA Standards and, more importantly, the HSA
-Runtime we have been able to successfully extended support to the dGPU with
-critical features for NUMA class acceleration. As a result, the ROCK driver is
-composed of several components based on our efforts to develop the
-Heterogeneous System Architecture for APUs, including the new AMDGPU driver,
-the Kernel Fusion Driver (KFD), the HSA+ Runtime and an LLVM based compilation
-stack for the building of key language support. This support starts with AMD’s
-FIJI Family of dGPU, and has expanded to include the Hawaii dGPU Family in ROCm 1.2
-ROCm 1.3 expands this support to include the Polaris Family of ASICS.

+# What\'s New in This Release
+
+## Hipfort-Interface for GPU Kernel Libraries
+
+Hipfort is an interface library for accessing GPU Kernels. It provides support to the AMD ROCm architecture from within the Fortran programming language. Currently, the gfortran and HIP-Clang compilers support hipfort. Note, the gfortran compiler belongs to the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). While hipfc wrapper calls hipcc for the non-fortran kernel source, gfortran is used for FORTRAN applications that call GPU kernels.
+
+The hipfort interface library is meant for Fortran developers with a focus on gfortran users. 
+
+For information on HIPFort installation and examples, see
+https://github.com/ROCmSoftwarePlatform/hipfort
+  
+
+## ROCm Data Center Tool 
+
+The ROCm™ Data Center Tool™ simplifies the administration and addresses key infrastructure challenges in AMD GPUs in cluster and datacenter environments. The important features of this tool are:
+
+* GPU telemetry  
+
+* GPU statistics for jobs 
+
+* Integration with third-party tools 
+
+* Open source 
+
+The ROCm Data Center Tool can be used in the standalone mode if all components are installed. The same set of features is also available in a library format that can be used by existing management tools. 
+
+![ScreenShot](https://github.com/Rmalavally/ROCm/blob/master/RDCComponentsrevised.png)
+
+
+Refer to the ROCm Data Center Tool™ User Guide for more details on the different modes of operation.  
+
+NOTE: The ROCm Data Center User Guide is intended to provide an overview of ROCm Data Center Tool features and how system administrators and Data Center (or HPC) users can administer and configure AMD GPUs. The guide also provides an overview of its components and open source developer handbook. 
+
+For installation information on different distributions, refer to the ROCm Data Center User Guide at
+
+https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/blob/master/AMD_ROCm_DataCenter_Tool_User_Guide.pdf
+
+
+### Error Correcting Code Fields in ROCm Data Center Tool
+
+The ROCm Data Center (RDC) tool is enhanced to provide counters to track correctable and uncorrectable errors. While a single bit per word error can be corrected, double bit per word errors cannot be corrected. 
+
+The RDC tool now helps monitor and protect undetected memory data corruption. If the system is using ECC- enabled memory, the ROCm Data Center tool can report the error counters to monitor the status of the memory. 
+
+![ScreenShot](https://github.com/Rmalavally/ROCm/blob/master/forweb.PNG)
+
+## Static Linking Libraries 
+
+The underlying libraries of AMD ROCm are dynamic and are called shared objects (.so) in Linux.
+The AMD ROCm v3.8 release includes the capability to build static ROCm libraries and link to the applications statically. CMake target files enable linking an application statically to ROCm libraries and each component exports the required dependencies for linking. The static libraries are called Archives (.a) in Linux.
+
+This release also comprises of the requisite changes required for all the components to work in a static environment. The components have been successfully tested for basic functionalities like *rocminfo /rocm_bandwidth_test* and archives.
+
+In the AMD ROCm v3.8 release, the following libraries support static linking: 
+
+![ScreenShot](https://github.com/Rmalavally/ROCm/blob/master/staticlinkinglib.PNG)
+
+# Fixed Defects
+The following defects are fixed in this release:
+
+* GPU Kernel C++ Names Not Demangled
+* MIGraphX Fails for fp16 Datatype
+* Issue with Peer-to-Peer Transfers
+* ‘rocprof’ option ‘--parallel-kernels’ Not Supported in this Release
+
+# Known Issues 
+
+## Undefined Reference Issue in Statically Linked Libraries
+
+Libraries and applications statically linked using flags -rtlib=compiler-rt, such as rocBLAS, have an implicit dependency on gcc_s not captured in their CMAKE configuration.  
+
+Client applications may require linking with an additional library -lgcc_s to resolve the undefined reference to symbol '_Unwind_Resume@@GCC_3.0'.
+
+## MIGraphX Pooling Operation Fails for Some Models
+
+MIGraphX does not work for some models with pooling operations and the following error appears:
+
+*‘test_gpu_ops_test FAILED’*
+
+This issue is currently under investigation and there is no known workaround currently. 
+
+## MIVisionX Installation Error on CentOS/RHEL8.2 and SLES 15
+
+Installing ROCm on MIVisionX results in the following error on CentOS/RHEL8.2 and SLES 15:
+
+*"Problem: nothing provides opencv needed"*
+
+As a workaround, install opencv before installing MIVisionX.
+
+
+# Deploying ROCm
+AMD hosts both Debian and RPM repositories for the ROCm v3.8.x packages. 
+
+For more information on ROCM installation on all platforms, see
+
+https://rocmdocs.amd.com/en/latest/Installation_Guide/Installation-Guide.html
+
+# 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.
+
+#### 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.
+
+ROCm officially supports AMD GPUs that use following chips:
+
+  * GFX8 GPUs
+    * "Fiji" chips, such as on the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X and Radeon Instinct MI8
+    * "Polaris 10" chips, such as on the AMD Radeon RX 580 and Radeon Instinct MI6
+  * 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
+
+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://rocm.github.io/hardware.html).
+
+#### 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`):
 ```
-The gpg key might change, so it may need to be updated when installing a new release.
-
-##### Install or Update
-Next, update the apt-get repository list and install/update the rocm package:
-
->**Warning**: Before proceeding, make sure to completely
->[uninstall any pre-release ROCm packages](https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm#removing-pre-release-packages):
-
-```shell
-sudo apt-get update
-sudo apt-get install rocm
-```
-Then, make the ROCm kernel your default kernel. If using grub2 as your
-bootloader, you can edit the `GRUB_DEFAULT` variable in the following file:
-
-```shell
-sudo vi /etc/default/grub
-sudo update-grub
+kfd: skipped device 1002:7300, PCI rejects atomics
 ```

-Once complete, reboot your system.
+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.

-We recommend you [verify your installation](https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm#verify-installation) to make sure everything completed successfully.
+#### Not supported or limited support under ROCm

-##### Un-install
-To un-install the entire rocm-dev development package execute:
+##### Limited support

-```shell
-sudo apt-get autoremove rocm
-```
+* ROCm 2.9.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.

-##### Installing development packages for cross compilation
-It is often useful to develop and test on different systems. In this scenario,
-you may prefer to avoid installing the ROCm Kernel to your development system.
+##### Not supported

-In this case, install the development subset of packages:
+* "Tonga", "Iceland", "Vega M", and "Vega 12" GPUs are not supported in ROCm 2.9.x
+* 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.

-```shell
-sudo apt-get update
-sudo apt-get install rocm-dev
-```
+#### ROCm support in upstream Linux kernels

->**Note:** To execute ROCm enabled apps you will require a system with the full
->ROCm driver stack installed
+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.

-##### Removing pre-release packages
-If you installed any of the ROCm pre-release packages from github, they will
-need to be manually un-installed:
+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

-```shell
-sudo apt-get purge libhsakmt
-sudo apt-get purge radeon-firmware
-sudo apt-get purge $(dpkg -l | grep 'kfd\|rocm' | grep linux | grep -v libc | awk '{print $2}')
-```
+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:

-If possible, we would recommend starting with a fresh OS install.
+|   | 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 |

-#### RPM repository - dnf (yum)

-A dnf (yum) repostiory is also available for installation of rpm packages. To configure a
-system to use the ROCm rpm directory create the file /etc/yum.repos.d/rocm.repo with
-the following contents:

-```shell
-[remote]
+## Machine Learning and High Performance Computing Software Stack for AMD GPU

-name=ROCm Repo
+For an updated version of the software stack for AMD GPU, see

-baseurl=http://packages.amd.com/rocm/yum/rpm/
-
-enabled=1
-
-gpgcheck=0
-```
-Execute the following commands:
-
-```shell
-sudo dnf clean all
-sudo dnf install rocm
-```
-
-As with the debian packages, it is possible to install rocm-dev or rocm-kernel individually.
-To uninstall the packages execute:
-
-```shell
-sudo dnf remove rocm
-```
-#### Manual installation steps for Fedora 23
-
-A fully functional Fedora installation requires a few manual steps to properly setup, including:
- * [Building compatible libc++ and libc++abi libraries for Fedora](https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/hcc/wiki#fedora)
-
-#### Verify Installation
-
-To verify that the ROCm stack completed successfully you can execute to HSA
-vectory\_copy sample application:
-
-```shell
-cd /opt/rocm/hsa/sample
-make
-./vector_copy
-```
-
-#### Closed Source Components
-The ROCm platform relies on a few closed source components to provide legacy
-functionality like HSAIL finalization and debugging/profiling support. These
-components are only available through the ROCm repositories, and will either be
-deprecated or become open source components in the future. These components are
-made available in the following packages:
-
-*  hsa-ext-rocr-dev
-
-### Getting ROCm Source Code
-Modifications can be made to the ROCm 1.4 components by modifying the open
-source code base and rebuilding the components. Source code can be cloned from
-each of the GitHub repositories using git, or users can use the repo command
-and the ROCm 1.4 manifest file to download the entire ROCm 1.4 source code.
-
-#### Installing repo
-Google's repo tool allows you to manage multiple git repositories
-simultaneously. You can install it by executing the following commands:
-
-```shell
-curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
-chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
-```
-Note: make sure ~/bin exists and it is part of your PATH
-
-#### Cloning the code
-```shell
-mkdir ROCm && cd ROCm
-repo init -u https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm.git -b roc-1.4.0
-repo sync
-```
-
-These series of commands will pull all of the open source code associated with
-the ROCm 1.4 release.
