Release Notes

The release notes for the ROCm platform.

ROCm 5.4.1

What's New in This Release

HIP Enhancements

The ROCm v5.4.1 release consists of the following new HIP API:

New HIP API - hipLaunchHostFunc

The following new HIP API is introduced in the ROCm v5.4.1 release.

Note

This is a pre-official version (beta) release of the new APIs.

hipError_t hipLaunchHostFunc(hipStream_t stream, hipHostFn_t fn, void* userData);

This swaps the stream capture mode of a thread.

@param [in] mode - Pointer to mode value to swap with the current mode

This parameter returns #hipSuccess, #hipErrorInvalidValue.

For more information, refer to the HIP API documentation at /bundle/HIP_API_Guide/page/modules.html.

Deprecations and Warnings

HIP Perl Scripts Deprecation

The hipcc and hipconfig Perl scripts are deprecated. In a future release, compiled binaries will be available as hipcc.bin and hipconfig.bin as replacements for the Perl scripts.

Note

There will be a transition period where the Perl scripts and compiled binaries are available before the scripts are removed. There will be no functional difference between the Perl scripts and their compiled binary counterpart. No user action is required. Once these are available, users can optionally switch to hipcc.bin and hipconfig.bin. The hipcc/hipconfig soft link will be assimilated to point from hipcc/hipconfig to the respective compiled binaries as the default option.
