+# 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 recommended 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.
+
+For additional information on documentation functionalities,
+see the user and developer guides for rocm-docs-core
+at {doc}`rocm-docs-core documentation <rocm-docs-core:index>`.
+
+## 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 renders 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 use Breathe syntax for Doxygen documentation
+in our Markdown files. 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).
+  See the {doc}`rocm-docs-core linting user guide <rocm-docs-core:user_guide/linting>` for more details.
+
+## Filenames and folder structure
+
+Please use snake case (all lower case letters and underscores instead of spaces)
+for file names. For example, `example_file_name.md`.
+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
+placed in the `/docs/data` folder.
+
+## Language and Style
+
+Adopt 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](https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/rocm-docs-core).
+Raise issues in `rocm-docs-core` for any formatting concerns and changes requested.
+
+## More
+
+For more topics, such as submitting feedback and ways to build documentation,

+-------------------
+
+## ROCm 5.7.0
+<!-- markdownlint-disable first-line-h1 -->
+<!-- markdownlint-disable no-duplicate-header -->
+
+### Release Highlights for ROCm v5.7
+
+ROCm 5.7.0 includes many new features. These include: a new library (hipTensor), debugger (ROCgdb) support for Fortran and OMPD, and optimizations for rocRAND and MIVisionX. Address sanitizer for host and device code (GPU) is now available as a beta. Note that ROCm 5.7.0 is EOS for MI50. 5.7 versions of ROCm are the last major release in the ROCm 5 series. This release is Linux-only.
+
+Important: The next major ROCm release (ROCm 6.0) will not be backward compatible with the ROCm 5 series. Changes will include: splitting LLVM packages into more manageable sizes, changes to the HIP runtime API, splitting rocRAND and hipRAND into separate packages, and reorganizing our file structure.
+
+#### AMD Instinct™ MI50 End of Support Notice
+
+AMD Instinct MI50, Radeon Pro VII, and Radeon VII products (collectively gfx906 GPUs) will enter maintenance mode starting Q3 2023.
+
+As outlined in [5.6.0](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/docs-5.6.0/release.html), ROCm 5.7 will be the final release for gfx906 GPUs to be in a fully supported state.
+
+- ROCm 6.0 release will show MI50s as "under maintenance" mode for [Linux](./about/release/linux_support) and [Windows](./about/release/windows_support)
+
+- No new features and performance optimizations will be supported for the gfx906 GPUs beyond this major release (ROCm 5.7).
+
+- Bug fixes / critical security patches will continue to be supported for the gfx906 GPUs till Q2 2024 (EOM (End of Maintenance) will be aligned with the closest ROCm release).
+
+- Bug fixes during the maintenance will be made to the next ROCm point release.
+
+- Bug fixes will not be backported to older ROCm releases for gfx906.
+
+- Distro / Operating system updates will continue as per the ROCm release cadence for gfx906 GPUs till EOM.
+
+#### Feature Updates
+
+##### Non-hostcall HIP Printf
+
+**Current behavior**
+
+The current version of HIP printf relies on hostcalls, which, in turn, rely on PCIe atomics. However, PCle atomics are unavailable in some environments, and, as a result, HIP-printf does not work in those environments. Users may see the following error from runtime (with AMD_LOG_LEVEL 1 and above), 
+
+```
+    Pcie atomics not enabled, hostcall not supported
+```
+**Workaround**
+
+The ROCm 5.7 release introduces an alternative to the current hostcall-based implementation that leverages an older OpenCL-based printf scheme, which does not rely on hostcalls/PCIe atomics. 
+Note: This option is less robust than hostcall-based implementation and is intended to be a workaround when hostcalls do not work.	
+
+The printf variant is now controlled via a new compiler option -mprintf-kind=<value>. This is supported only for HIP programs and takes the following values,
+
+- “hostcall” – This currently available implementation relies on hostcalls, which require the system to support PCIe atomics. It is the default scheme.
+
+- “buffered” – This implementation leverages the older printf scheme used by OpenCL; it relies on a memory buffer where printf arguments are stored during the kernel execution, and then the runtime handles the actual printing once the kernel finishes execution. 
+
+**NOTE**: With the new workaround,
+
+- The printf buffer is fixed size and non-circular.  After the buffer is filled, calls to printf will not result in additional output.
+
+- The printf call returns either 0 (on success) or -1 (on failure, due to full buffer), unlike the hostcall scheme that returns the number of characters printed.
+
+##### Beta Release of LLVM Address Sanitizer (ASAN) with the GPU
+
+The ROCm v5.7 release introduces the beta release of LLVM Address Sanitizer (ASAN) with the GPU. The LLVM Address Sanitizer provides a process that allows developers to detect runtime addressing errors in applications and libraries. The detection is achieved using a combination of compiler-added instrumentation and runtime techniques, including function interception and replacement.
+Until now, the LLVM Address Sanitizer process was only available for traditional purely CPU applications. However, ROCm has extended this mechanism to additionally allow the detection of some addressing errors on the GPU in heterogeneous applications. Ideally, developers should treat heterogeneous HIP and OpenMP applications like pure CPU applications. However, this simplicity has not been achieved yet.
+
+Refer to the documentation on LLVM Address Sanitizer with the GPU at [LLVM Address Sanitizer User Guide](./docs/understand/using_gpu_sanitizer.md).
+
+**Note**: The beta release of LLVM Address Sanitizer for ROCm is currently tested and validated on Ubuntu 20.04.
+
+#### Fixed Defects
+
+The following defects are fixed in ROCm v5.7,
+
+- Test hangs observed in HMM RCCL
+
+- NoGpuTst test of Catch2 fails with Docker
+
+- Failures observed with non-HMM HIP directed catch2 tests with XNACK+
+
+- Multiple test failures and test hangs observed in hip-directed catch2 tests with xnack+
+
+#### HIP 5.7.0
+
+##### Optimizations
+
+##### Added
+
+- Added `meta_group_size`/`rank` for getting the number of tiles and rank of a tile in the partition
+
+- Added new APIs supporting Windows only, under development on Linux
+
+    - `hipMallocMipmappedArray` for allocating a mipmapped array on the device
+
+    - `hipFreeMipmappedArray` for freeing a mipmapped array on the device
+
+    - `hipGetMipmappedArrayLevel` for getting a mipmap level of a HIP mipmapped array
+
+    - `hipMipmappedArrayCreate` for creating a mipmapped array
+
+    - `hipMipmappedArrayDestroy` for destroy a mipmapped array
+
+    - `hipMipmappedArrayGetLevel` for getting a mipmapped array on a mipmapped level
+
+##### Changed
+
+##### Fixed
+
+##### Known Issues
+
+- HIP memory type enum values currently don't support equivalent value to `cudaMemoryTypeUnregistered`, due to HIP functionality backward compatibility.
+- HIP API `hipPointerGetAttributes` could return invalid value in case the input memory pointer was not allocated through any HIP API on device or host.
+
+##### Upcoming changes for HIP in ROCm 6.0 release
+
+- Removal of gcnarch from hipDeviceProp_t structure
+
+- Addition of new fields in hipDeviceProp_t structure
+
+    - maxTexture1D
+
+    - maxTexture2D
+
+    - maxTexture1DLayered
+
+    - maxTexture2DLayered
+

+    - unifiedAddressing
+    
+    - computePreemptionSupported
+    
+    - hostRegisterSupported
+    
+    - uuid
+    
+- Removal of deprecated code -hip-hcc codes from hip code tree
+
+- Correct hipArray usage in HIP APIs such as hipMemcpyAtoH and hipMemcpyHtoA
+
+- HIPMEMCPY_3D fields correction to avoid truncation of "size_t" to "unsigned int" inside hipMemcpy3D()
+
+- Renaming of 'memoryType' in hipPointerAttribute_t structure to 'type'
+
+- Correct hipGetLastError to return the last error instead of last API call's return code
+
+- Update hipExternalSemaphoreHandleDesc to add "unsigned int reserved[16]"
+
+- Correct handling of flag values in hipIpcOpenMemHandle for hipIpcMemLazyEnablePeerAccess
+
+- Remove hiparray* and make it opaque with hipArray_t

+rocPRIM 2.13.1 for ROCm 5.7.0
+
+##### Changed
+
+- Deprecated configuration `radix_sort_config` for device-level radix sort as it no longer matches the algorithm&#39;s parameters. New configuration `radix_sort_config_v2` is preferred instead.
+- Removed erroneous implementation of device-level `inclusive_scan` and `exclusive_scan`. The prior default implementation using lookback-scan now is the only available implementation.
+- The benchmark metric indicating the bytes processed for `exclusive_scan_by_key` and `inclusive_scan_by_key` has been changed to incorporate the key type. Furthermore, the benchmark log has been changed such that these algorithms are reported as `scan` and `scan_by_key` instead of `scan_exclusive` and `scan_inclusive`.
+- Deprecated configurations `scan_config` and `scan_by_key_config` for device-level scans, as they no longer match the algorithm&#39;s parameters. New configurations `scan_config_v2` and `scan_by_key_config_v2` are preferred instead.
+
+##### Fixed
+
+- Fixed build issue caused by missing header in `thread/thread_search.hpp`.
+
+#### rocRAND 2.10.17
+
+rocRAND 2.10.17 for ROCm 5.7.0

+# 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.
+
+## `rocm-docs-core`
+
+[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 use as part of the documentation
+build. It is also available as a [pip package on PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/rocm-docs-core/).
+
+See the user and developer guides for rocm-docs-core at {doc}`rocm-docs-core documentation <rocm-docs-core:index>`.
+
+## 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 reStructuredText (RST) based documentation, but
+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.
+
+## Read the Docs
+
+[Read the Docs](https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) is the service that builds
+and hosts the HTML documentation generated using Sphinx to our end users.
+
+## Doxygen
+
+[Doxygen](https://www.doxygen.nl/) is a documentation generator that extracts
+information from inline code.
+ROCm projects typically use Doxygen for public API documentation unless the
+upstream project uses a different tool.
+
+### Breathe
+
+[Breathe](https://www.breathe-doc.org/) is a Sphinx plugin to integrate Doxygen
+content.
+
+### 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 into ROCm documentation by the Sphinx extension [`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 External TOC
+
+[Sphinx External Table of Contents (TOC)](https://sphinx-external-toc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html)
+is a Sphinx extension used for ROCm documentation navigation. This tool generates a navigation menu on the left
+based on a YAML file that specifies the table of contents.
+It 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.
+
+### Sphinx Book Theme
+
+[Sphinx Book Theme](https://sphinx-book-theme.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) is a Sphinx theme
+that defines the base appearance for ROCm documentation.
+ROCm documentation applies some customization,
+such as a custom header and footer on top of the Sphinx Book Theme.
+
+### Sphinx Design
+
+[Sphinx Design](https://sphinx-design.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html) is a Sphinx extension that adds design
+functionality.
+ROCm documentation uses Sphinx Design for grids, cards, and synchronized tabs.

+# 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.
+
+## Pull Request 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 a URL of the form
+  `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 documentation from the Command Line
+
+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.
+
+## Build documentation using Visual Studio (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-served 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 above are used for the following reasons:
+    - `liveServer.settings.root`: Sets the root of the output website for live previews. Must be changed
+      alongside the `tasks.json` command.
+    - `liveServer.settings.wait`: Tells live server to wait with the update to give time for Sphinx to
+      regenerate site contents and not refresh before all is done. (Empirical value)
+    - `python.terminal.activateEnvInCurrentTerminal`: Automatic virtual environment 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": {

+            "-T",
+            "-b",

+            "-d",
+            "${workspaceFolder}/.vscode/build/doctrees",
+            "-D",
+            "language=en",
+            "${workspaceFolder}/docs",
+            "${workspaceFolder}/.vscode/build/html"

+    > 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

+
+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 drop down 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.
