```{note}
If you’re using Radeon™ PRO or Radeon GPUs in a workstation setting with a
display connected, continue to use ROCm 6.2.3. See the [Use ROCm on Radeon
GPUs](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/radeon/en/latest/index.html)
documentation to verify compatibility and system requirements.
```
## Release highlights
The following are notable new features and improvements in ROCm 6.2.4. For changes to individual components, see
[Detailed component changes](#detailed-component-changes).
#### ROCm documentation updates
ROCm documentation continues to be updated to provide clearer and more comprehensive guidance for
a wider variety of user needs and use cases.
* Added a new GPU cluster networking guide. See
[Cluster network performance validation for AMD Instinct accelerators](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/gpu-cluster-networking/en/docs-6.2.4/index.html).
This documentation provides guidelines on validating network configurations
in single-node and multi-node environments to attain optimal speed and bandwidth
in AMD Instinct-powered clusters.
* Updated the HIP runtime documentation.
* Added a new section on how to use [HIP graphs](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/HIP/en/docs-6.2.4/how-to/hipgraph.html).
* Added a new section about the [Stream ordered memory allocator (SOMA)](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/HIP/en/docs-6.2.4/how-to/stream_ordered_allocator.html).
* Updated the [Porting CUDA driver API](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/HIP/en/docs-6.2.4/how-to/hip_porting_driver_api.html) section.
* Updated the [Post-installation instructions](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-linux/en/docs-6.2.4/install/post-install.html)
with guidance on using the `update-alternatives` utility and environment modules to help you manage multiple ROCm
versions and streamline PATH configuration.
* Updated the [LLM inference performance validation on AMD Instinct
MI300X](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/docs-6.2.4/how-to/performance-validation/mi300x/vllm-benchmark.html)
documentation with more detailed guidance, new models, and the `float8` data type.
## Operating system and hardware support changes
ROCm 6.2.4 adds support for the [AMD Radeon PRO V710](https://www.amd.com/en/products/accelerators/radeon-pro/amd-radeon-pro-v710.html) GPU for compute workloads. See
[Supported GPUs](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-linux/en/docs-6.2.4/reference/system-requirements.html#supported-gpus)
for more information.
This release maintains the same operating system support as 6.2.2.

## Detailed component changes
The following sections describe key changes to ROCm components.
### **AMD SMI** (24.6.3)
#### Resolved issues
* Fixed support for the API calls `amdsmi_get_gpu_process_isolation` and
`amdsmi_clean_gpu_local_data`, along with the `amd-smi set
--process-isolation <0 or 1>` command. See issue
[#3500](https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/3500) on GitHub.
### **rocFFT** (1.0.30)
#### Optimized
* Implemented 1D kernels for factorizable sizes greater than 1024 and less than 2048.
#### Resolved issues
* Fixed plan creation failure on some even-length real-complex transforms that use Bluestein's algorithm.
### **rocSOLVER** (3.26.2)
#### Resolved issues
* Fixed synchronization issue in STEIN.
## ROCm known issues
ROCm known issues are tracked on [GitHub](https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/labels/Verified%20Issue).
Known issues related to individual components are listed in the [Detailed component changes](#detailed-component-changes)
section.
## ROCm upcoming changes
The following changes to the ROCm software stack are anticipated for future releases.
### rocm-llvm-alt
The `rocm-llvm-alt` package will be removed in an upcoming release. Users relying on the functionality provided by the closed-source compiler should transition to the open-source compiler. Once the `rocm-llvm-alt` package is removed, any compilation requesting functionality provided by the closed-source compiler will result in a Clang warning: "*[AMD] proprietary optimization compiler has been removed*".
### rccl-rdma-sharp-plugins
The RCCL plugin package, `rccl-rdma-sharp-plugins`, will be removed in an upcoming ROCm release.
