## What\'s New in This Release
## General AMD ROCm Documentation Links
### Multi Version Installation
Access the following links for more information:
Users can install and access multiple versions of the ROCm toolkit simultaneously.
* For AMD ROCm documentation, see
Previously, users could install only a single version of the ROCm toolkit.
https://rocmdocs.amd.com/en/latest/
Now, users have the option to install multiple versions simultaneously and toggle to the desired version of the ROCm toolkit. From the v3.3 release, multiple versions of ROCm packages can be installed in the */opt/rocm-<version>* folder.
* For installation instructions on supped platforms, see
https://rocmdocs.amd.com/en/latest/Installation_Guide/Installation-Guide.html
**Prerequisites**
* For AMD ROCm binary structure, see
Ensure the existing installations of ROCm, including/opt/rocm, are completely removed before the v3.3 ROCm toolkit installation. The ROCm v3.3 package requires a clean installation.
https://rocmdocs.amd.com/en/latest/Installation_Guide/Installation-Guide.html#build-amd-rocm
* To install a single instance of ROCm, use the rocm-dkms or rocm-dev packages to install all the required components. This creates a symbolic link /opt/rocm pointing to the corresponding version of ROCm installed on the system.
* For AMD ROCm Release History, see
* To install individual ROCm components, create the /opt/rocm symbolic link pointing to the version of ROCm installed on the system.
For example, # ln -s /opt/rocm-3.3.0 /opt/rocm
https://rocmdocs.amd.com/en/latest/Installation_Guide/Installation-Guide.html#amd-rocm-version-history
* To install multiple instance ROCm packages, create /opt/rocm symbolic link pointing to the version of ROCm installed/used on the system.
For example, # ln -s /opt/rocm-3.3.0 /opt/rocm
**NOTE**: The Kernel Fusion Driver (KFD) must be compatible with all versions of the ROCm software installed on the system.
**Before You Begin**
# What\'s New in This Release
Review the following important notes:
## Hipfort-Interface for GPU Kernel Libraries
Single Version Installation
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.
To install a single instance of the ROCm package, access the non-versioned packages. You must not install any components from the multi-instance set.
The hipfort interface library is meant for Fortran developers with a focus on gfortran users.
For example,
For information on HIPFort installation and examples, see
https://github.com/ROCmSoftwarePlatform/hipfort
* rocm-dkms
* rocm-dev
* hip
## ROCm Data Center Tool
A fresh installation or an upgrade of the single-version installation will remove the existing version completely and install the new version in the */opt/rocm-<version>* folder.
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:
![ScreenShot](singleinstance.png)
* GPU telemetry
* GPU statistics for jobs
**Multi-version Installation**
* Integration with third-party tools
* To install a multi-instance of the ROCm package, access the versioned packages and components.
* Open source
For example,
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.
* rocm-dkms3.3.0
* rocm-dev3.3.0
* hip3.3.0
* The new multi-instance package enables you to install two versions of the ROCm toolkit simultaneously and provides the ability to toggle between the two versioned packages.
![ScreenShot](https://github.com/Rmalavally/ROCm/blob/master/RDCComponentsrevised.png)
* The ROCm-DEV package does not create symlinks
* Users must create symlinks if required
Refer to the ROCm Data Center Tool™ User Guide for more details on the different modes of operation.
* Multi-version installation with previous ROCm versions is not supported
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.
* Kernel Fusion Driver (KFD) must be compatible with all versions of ROCm installations
For installation information on different distributions, refer to the ROCm Data Center User Guide at
![ScreenShot](MultiIns.png)
https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/blob/master/AMD_ROCm_DataCenter_Tool_User_Guide.pdf
**IMPORTANT**: A single instance ROCm package cannot co-exist with the multi-instance package.
**NOTE**: The multi-instance installation applies only to ROCm v3.3 and above. This package requires a fresh installation after the complete removal of existing ROCm packages. **The multi-version installation is not backward compatible.**
### 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.
## GPU Process Information
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.
A new functionality to display process information for GPUs is available in this release. For example, you can view the process details to determine if the GPU(s) must be reset.
![ScreenShot](https://github.com/Rmalavally/ROCm/blob/master/forweb.PNG)
To display the GPU process details, you can:
## Static Linking Libraries
* Invoke the API
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.
or
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.
* Use the Command Line Interface (CLI)
In the AMD ROCm v3.8 release, the following libraries support static linking:
For more details about the API and the command instructions, see
![ScreenShot](https://github.com/Rmalavally/ROCm/blob/master/staticlinkinglib.PNG)
https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/rocm_smi_lib/blob/master/docs/ROCm_SMI_Manual.pdf
# 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
## Support for 3D Pooling Layers
# Known Issues
AMD ROCm is enhanced to include support for 3D pooling layers. The implementation of 3D pooling layers now allows users to run 3D convolutional networks, such as ResNext3D, on AMD Radeon Instinct GPUs.
## 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.
## ONNX Enhancements
Open Neural Network eXchange (ONNX) is a widely-used neural net exchange format. The AMD model compiler & optimizer support the pre-trained models in ONNX, NNEF, & Caffe formats. Currently, ONNX versions 1.3 and below are supported.
Client applications may require linking with an additional library -lgcc_s to resolve the undefined reference to symbol '_Unwind_Resume@@GCC_3.0'.
The AMD Neural Net Intermediate Representation (NNIR) is enhanced to handle the rapidly changing ONNX versions and its layers.
## MIGraphX Pooling Operation Fails for Some Models
![ScreenShot](onnx.png)
MIGraphX does not work for some models with pooling operations and the following error appears:
For more details about AMD support for ONNX and ISV samples, see
*test_gpu_ops_test FAILED*
https://github.com/GPUOpen-ProfessionalCompute-Libraries/MIVisionX/tree/master/model_compiler
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:
## Deploying ROCm
AMD hosts both Debian and RPM repositories for the ROCm v3.3.0x packages.
*"Problem: nothing provides opencv needed"*
The following directions show how to install ROCm on supported Debian-based systems such as Ubuntu 18.04.x.
As a workaround, install opencv before installing MIVisionX.
Note: These directions may not work as written on unsupported Debian-based distributions. For example, newer versions of Ubuntu may not be compatible with the rock-dkms kernel driver. In this case, you can exclude the rocm-dkms and rock-dkms packages.
# 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

## Deprecations in This Release
### Code Object Manager (Comgr) Functions
The following Code Object Manager (Comgr) functions are deprecated.
* `amd_comgr_action_info_set_options`
* `amd_comgr_action_info_get_options`
These functions were originally deprecated in version 1.3 of the Comgr library as they no longer support options with embedded spaces.
The deprecated functions are now replaced with the array-oriented options API, which includes
* `amd_comgr_action_info_set_option_list`
* `amd_comgr_action_info_get_option_list_count`
* `amd_comgr_action_info_get_option_list_item`

##### Limited support
* 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.

### ROCm Binary Package Structure
ROCm is a collection of software ranging from drivers and runtimes to libraries and developer tools.
In AMD's package distributions, these software projects are provided as a separate packages.
This allows users to install only the packages they need, if they do not wish to install all of ROCm.
These packages will install most of the ROCm software into `/opt/rocm/` by default.
The packages for each of the major ROCm components are:
* ROCm Core Components
- ROCk Kernel Driver: `rock-dkms`
- ROCr Runtime: `hsa-rocr-dev`, `hsa-ext-rocr-dev`
- ROCt Thunk Interface: `hsakmt-roct`, `hsakmt-roct-dev`
* ROCm Support Software
- ROCm SMI: `rocm-smi`
- ROCm cmake: `rocm-cmake`
- rocminfo: `rocminfo`
- ROCm Bandwidth Test: `rocm_bandwidth_test`
* ROCm Development Tools
- HCC compiler: `hcc`
- HIP: `hip_base`, `hip_doc`, `hip_hcc`, `hip_samples`
- ROCm Device Libraries: `rocm-device-libs`
- ROCm OpenCL: `rocm-opencl`, `rocm-opencl-devel` (on RHEL/CentOS), `rocm-opencl-dev` (on Ubuntu)
- ROCM Clang-OCL Kernel Compiler: `rocm-clang-ocl`
- Asynchronous Task and Memory Interface (ATMI): `atmi`
- ROCr Debug Agent: `rocr_debug_agent`
- ROCm Code Object Manager: `comgr`
- ROC Profiler: `rocprofiler-dev`
- ROC Tracer: `roctracer-dev`
- Radeon Compute Profiler: `rocm-profiler`
* ROCm Libraries
- rocALUTION: `rocalution`
- rocBLAS: `rocblas`
- hipBLAS: `hipblas`
- hipCUB: `hipCUB`
- rocFFT: `rocfft`
- rocRAND: `rocrand`
- rocSPARSE: `rocsparse`
- hipSPARSE: `hipsparse`
- ROCm SMI Lib: `rocm_smi_lib64`
- rocThrust: `rocThrust`
- MIOpen: `MIOpen-HIP` (for the HIP version), `MIOpen-OpenCL` (for the OpenCL version)
- MIOpenGEMM: `miopengemm`
- MIVisionX: `mivisionx`
- RCCL: `rccl`
To make it easier to install ROCm, the AMD binary repositories provide a number of meta-packages that will automatically install multiple other packages.
For example, `rocm-dkms` is the primary meta-package that is used to install most of the base technology needed for ROCm to operate.
It will install the `rock-dkms` kernel driver, and another meta-package (`rocm-dev`) which installs most of the user-land ROCm core components, support software, and development tools.
The `rocm-utils` meta-package will install useful utilities that, while not required for ROCm to operate, may still be beneficial to have.
Finally, the `rocm-libs` meta-package will install some (but not all) of the libraries that are part of ROCm.
The chain of software installed by these meta-packages is illustrated below
```
rocm-dkms
|--rock-dkms
\--rocm-dev
|--comgr
|--hcc
|--hip_base
|--hip_doc
|--hip_hcc
|--hip_samples
|--hsakmt-roct
|--hsakmt-roct-dev
|--hsa-amd-aqlprofile
|--hsa-ext-rocr-dev
|--hsa-rocr-dev
|--rocm-cmake
|--rocm-device-libs
|--rocm-smi
|--rocprofiler-dev
|--rocr_debug_agent
\--rocm-utils
|--rocminfo
\--rocm-clang-ocl # This will cause OpenCL to be installed
rocm-libs
|--hipblas
|--hipcub
|--hipsparse
|--rocalution
|--rocblas
|--rocfft
|--rocprim
|--rocrand
|--rocsparse
\--rocthrust
```
These meta-packages are not required but may be useful to make it easier to install ROCm on most systems.
Note:Some users may want to skip certain packages. For instance, a user that wants to use the upstream kernel drivers (rather than those supplied by AMD) may want to skip the `rocm-dkms` and `rock-dkms` packages, and instead directly install `rocm-dev`.
Similarly, a user that only wants to install OpenCL support instead of HCC and HIP may want to skip the `rocm-dkms` and `rocm-dev` packages. Instead, they could directly install `rock-dkms`, `rocm-opencl`, and `rocm-opencl-dev` and their dependencies.
