Gaurav & Kyle, do you know if this is the case?

Dan, I believe the short answer is yes although 7-8 minutes seems a little
long.  Are you running this in Kyle's Docker, or separately?  If in the
Docker, that does increase the overhead somewhat, so running it directly on
a system would likely reduce the overhead somewhat.  Also, are you running
with the release or debug version of the ROCm drivers?  Again, debug
version will likely add some time to this.
