|
ROCm provides a robust environment for heterogeneous programs running on CPUs
|
|
and AMD GPUs. ROCm supports various programming languages and frameworks to
|
|
help developers access the power of AMD GPUs. The natively supported programming
|
|
languages are HIP (Heterogeneous-Compute Interface for Portability) and
|
|
OpenCL, but HIP bindings are available for Python and Fortran.
|
|
|
|
HIP is an API based on C++ that provides a runtime and kernel language for GPU
|
|
programming and is the essential ROCm programming language. HIP is also designed
|
|
to be a marshalling language, allowing code written for NVIDIA CUDA to be
|
|
easily ported to run on AMD GPUs. Developers can use HIP to write kernels that
|
|
execute on AMD GPUs while maintaining compatibility with CUDA-based systems.
|
|
|
|
OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is an open standard for cross-platform,
|
|
parallel programming of diverse processors. ROCm supports OpenCL for developers
|
|
who want to use standard frameworks across different hardware platforms,
|
|
including CPUs, GPUs, and APUs. For more information, see
|
|
`OpenCL <https://www.khronos.org/opencl/>`_.
|
|
|
|
Python bindings can be found at https://github.com/ROCm/hip-python.
|
|
Python is popular in AI and machine learning applications due to available
|
|
frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch.
|
|
|
|
Fortran bindings can be found at https://github.com/ROCm/hipfort.
|
|
It enables scientific, academic, and legacy applications, particularly those in
|
|
high-performance computing, to run on AMD GPUs via HIP.
|
|
|
