 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 April 25th, 2016, we delivered ROCm 1.0 built around three pillars:
-
-1) Open Heterogeneous Computing Platform (Linux Driver and Runtime Stack), 
-   optimized for HPC & Ultra-scale class computing;
-   
-2) Heterogeneous C and C++ Single Source Compiler, to approach computation 
-   holistically, on a system level, rather than as a discrete GPU artifact;
-   
-3) HIP, acknowledging the need for freedom of choice when it comes to platforms
-   and APIs for GPU computing.
-
-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 accelerating NUMA computation. 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 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.

-#### Support for future APUs
-We are well aware of the excitement and anticipation built around using ROCm

+
+ROCm 1.7.2 a kernel parameter noretry has been set to 1 to improve overall system performance. However it has been proven to bring instability to graphics driver shipped with Ubuntu. This is an ongoing issue and we are looking into it.
+
+Before that, please try apply this change by changing noretry bit to 0.
+
+```shell
+echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/module/amdkfd/parameters/noretry
+```
+
+Files under /sys won't be preserved after reboot so you'll need to do it every time.
+
+One way to keep noretry=0 is to change /etc/modprobe.d/amdkfd.conf and make it be:
+
+options amdkfd noretry=0
+
+Once it's done, run sudo update-initramfs -u. Reboot and verify /sys/module/amdkfd/parameters/noretry stays as 0.
+
+
 ##### Removing pre-release packages
 If you installed any of the ROCm pre-release packages from github, they will
 need to be manually un-installed:
 
 ```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}')
