ROCm Core SDK 7.11.0 release notes
ROCm Core SDK 7.11.0 continues the technology preview release stream that began with ROCm 7.9.0, advancing the transition to the new TheRock build and release system. To learn more about TheRock, see ROCm Core SDK and TheRock Build System.
This release expands AMD GPU and APU support and adds more components to the ROCm Core SDK. Developers can expect a more consistent build experience and streamlined workflows that pave the way toward modular future ROCm releases planned for mid-2026.
(preview-stream-note)= :::{important} ROCm 7.11.0 follows the versioning discontinuity that began with 7.9.0 and remains separate from the 7.0 to 7.2 production releases. For the latest production stream release, see the ROCm documentation.
Maintaining parallel release streams -- preview and production -- gives users ample time to evaluate and adopt the new build system and dependency changes. The technology preview stream is planned to continue through mid‑2026, after which it will replace the current production stream. :::

For the full list of core components, see ROCm Core SDK components.
Compatibility notices
In terms of package compatibility, ROCm 7.11.0 diverges from the existing ROCm 7.0 production stream and future stable releases in that stream:
-
Compute-focused: ROCm 7.11.0 enables support for primarily compute workloads. Future releases will support mixed workloads (compute and graphics).
If you’re interested in testing AMD Radeon GPUs with preview support for graphics use cases with AMD ROCm 7.11.0, install Radeon Software for Linux version 25.35 from Linux Drivers for AMD Radeon and Radeon PRO Graphics.
If you're interested in testing AMD Ryzen APUs with preview support for graphics use cases with AMD ROCm 7.11.0, use the inbox graphics drivers of Ubuntu 24.04.3.
-
No upgrade path from existing production releases including ROCm 7.2.0 and earlier, as well as from upcoming stable releases. See the explanatory note.
-
Not intended for production workloads: users running production environments should continue using the ROCm 7.0 stream. See the explanatory note.
-
Not fully featured: this release is a stepping stone toward fully open software development.
-
Limited hardware support: preview releases are only supported on some AMD Instinct GPUs, Radeon GPUs, and Ryzen APUs. See Supported hardware and operating systems.
-
Software components: additional components are planned to be introduced in future preview releases as part of the ROCm Core SDK. Other libraries and tools not included in the future Core SDK will either be:
- Released as standalone project-specific packages, or
- Grouped into domain-specific toolkits.

Kernel driver and firmware bundle support
ROCm requires a coordinated stack of compatible firmware, driver, and user space components. Maintaining version alignment between these layers ensures correct GPU operation and performance, especially for AMD data center products. While AMD publishes the AMD GPU driver and ROCm user space components, your server OEM or infrastructure provider distributes the firmware packages. AMD supplies those firmware images (PLDM bundles), which the OEM integrates and distributes.

Known issues
The following are known issues identified in ROCm 7.11.0.
DistilBERT model performance regression on AMD Instinct MI350 Series
The DistilBERT base model experiences reduced GPU kernel performance on Instinct MI350 Series GPUs (gfx950). This issue is under investigation.
ROCgdb GPU core dump limitation
ROCgdb has a limitation that prevents proper GPU core dumps from being generated. This blocks effective root‑cause analysis of GPU faults. ROCm/rocm-systems PR #2851 introduces a fix to the ROCr Runtime's core dump generation and will be included in a future release.
Clang illegal instruction error on Radeon GPUs
Using Clang with the -O0 optimization level on certain supported AMD Radeon PRO
and Radeon GPUs might trigger an illegal instructions detected error. This
failure typically occurs in code paths that use ockl_wfred_* functions, which
handle wavefront operations and synchronization. Projects like llama.cpp are
known to be affected. As a workaround, use -Og optimization level instead of
-O0 for debug builds:
- Linux (CMake)
DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG="-Og -g" - Windows (CMake)
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG="-Og -g -Xclang -gcodeview -D_DEBUG -D_DLL -D_MT -Xclang --dependent-lib=msvcrtd"
llama.cpp runtime failures on Instinct MI350 Series
llama.cpp builds successfully but might fail at runtime with the error "HIP kernel mul_mat_q has no device code". This issue is under investigation.
PyTorch model training validation issues
The following models failed validation on PyTorch for ROCm 7.11.0 due to compilation errors and other issues: Llama 3.1 8B, Llama 3.1 70B, Llama 2 70B-chat-hf, and DeepSpeed Megatron-LM GPT2.
Apex fails to build using TheRock
Apex encounters crashes, missing module errors, and segmentation faults related to the HIP runtime during testing with the TheRock build system. This will be fixed in a future release.
PyTorch unit tests freeze on Microsoft Windows
The test_cublas_config_nondeterministic_alert_cuda and test_graph_error
PyTorch tests fail and hang indefinitely on Windows. This issue will be fixed
in a future release.
HIPRTC rocWMMA unknown type name compilation errors
Any HIPRTC program using the rocwmma.hpp header will fail to compile and
produce "unknown type name" errors. This issue will be fixed in
a future release. As a workaround, add the following code before including the
rocwmma.hpp header:
typedef signed char int8_t;
typedef unsigned char uint8_t;
typedef unsigned short uint16_t;
typedef unsigned int uint32_t;
hipBLASLt TF32 matmul INF propagation on Instinct MI350 Series
On Instinct MI350 Series GPUs (gfx950), hipblasLtMatmul with computeType = HIPBLAS_COMPUTE_32F_FAST_TF32 returns NaN instead of propagating INF
values from input tensors. As a workaround, sanitize or clamp tensors before
TF32 matmul operations if acceptable for the workload. This issue will be fixed
in a future release.
rocPRIM unit test fails on Windows on Radeon RX 9060 GPUs
The rocprim.device_adjacent_find unit test on Windows on Radeon RX 9060 XT
LP, 9060 XT, and 9060 GPUs might hang intermittently. This issue will be fixed
in a future release.
MIOpen unit test runtime compilation failures
MIOpen unit tests fail to find the rocrand_xorwow.h header during runtime
compilation of certain kernels. This occurs because ROCm can be installed in
various locations and the include path is not automatically resolved. Impact is
minimal as the affected kernel (softmax attention) is not used in production
workloads. This issue will be fixed in a future release.
CRIU checkpoint fails on Instinct MI300X with Debian 13
ROCm Bandwidth Test (RBT) test cases for Checkpoint/Restore In Userspace (CRIU) fail on Instinct MI300X GPUs running Debian 13. Debian 13 users might experience CRIU failures. This issue will be fixed in a future release.
Multi-node RCCL tests crash intermittently
Multi-node RCCL tests (such as alltoall_perf, allgather_perf) are
experiencing intermittent crashes on Instinct MI355X GPUs with AINIC NICs. This
issue will be fixed in a future release.
hipify-clang errors with NVIDIA CUDA 12.x
Users running hipify-clang with CUDA 12.x or later will encounter errors when
processing CUDA source files:
error: must pass in an explicit nvptx64 gpu architecture to 'ptxas'
error: must pass in an explicit nvptx64 gpu architecture to 'nvlink'
As a workaround, explicitly pass the cuda-gpu-arch flag:
hipify-clang --cuda-gpu-arch=sm_70...
This issue will be fixed in a future release.
HIP Graph API tutorial code build fails
The HIP Graph API tutorial code fails to build on Linux due to a missing -fPIC
compiler flag. To resolve this issue, enable position-independent code in the
main CMakeLists.txt by adding set(CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE ON) as in the
fix in ROCm/rocm-examples PR
#408.
Upcoming changes
Future preview releases will expand support for:
-
Additional ROCm Core SDK components
-
Domain-specific expansion toolkits (data science, life science, finance, simulation, and other HPC domains)
-
Extended AMD hardware support
