ROCm 5.7.0

What's new in this release

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. AddressSanitizer 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.

Fixed defects

• hipMemcpy device-to-device (intra device) is now asynchronous with respect to the host
• Enabled xnack+ check in HIP catch2 tests hang when executing tests
• Memory leak when code object files are loaded/unloaded via hipModuleLoad/hipModuleUnload APIs
• Using hipGraphAddMemFreeNode no longer results in a crash
