Package Manager Integration

This section provides information about the required meta-packages for the following AMD ROCm programming models:

• Heterogeneous-Computing Interface for Portability (HIP)
• OpenCL™
• OpenMP™

ROCm Package Naming Conventions

A meta-package is a grouping of related packages and dependencies used to support a specific use case.

Example: Running HIP applications

All meta-packages exist in both versioned and non-versioned forms.

• Non-versioned packages – For a single-version installation of the ROCm stack
• Versioned packages – For multi-version installations of the ROCm stack

ROCm Release Package Naming

{numref}package-naming demonstrates the single and multi-version ROCm packages' naming structure, including examples for various Linux distributions. See terms below:

Module - It is the part of the package that represents the name of the ROCm component.

Example: The examples mentioned in the image represent the ROCm HIP module.

Module version - It is the version of the library released in that package. It should increase with a newer release.

Release version - It shows the ROCm release version when the package was released.

Example: 50400 points to the ROCm 5.4.0 release.

Build id - It represents the Jenkins build number for that release.

Arch - It shows the architecture for which the package was created.

Distro - It describes the distribution for which the package was created. It is valid only for rpm packages.

Example: el8 represents RHEL 8.x packages.

Components of ROCm Programming Models

{numref}meta-packages demonstrates the high-level layered architecture of ROCm programming models and their meta-packages. All meta-packages are a combination of required packages and libraries.

Example:

• rocm-hip-runtime is used to deploy on supported machines to execute HIP applications.
• rocm-hip-sdk contains runtime components to deploy and execute HIP applications.

ROCm Meta Packages

`rocm-llvm` is not a meta-package but a single package that installs the ROCm
clang compiler files.

Packages in ROCm Programming Models

This section discusses the available meta-packages and their packages. The following image visualizes the meta-packages and their associated packages in a ROCm programming model.

Associated Packages

• Meta-packages can include another meta-package.
• rocm-core package is common across all the meta-packages.
• Meta-packages and associated packages are represented in the same color.

{numref}`assoc-packages` is for informational purposes only, as the individual
packages in a meta-package are subject to change. Install meta-packages, and not
individual packages, to avoid conflicts.
