Summary:
"ROCm is a software stack, composed primarily of open-source software,
that provides the tools for programming AMD Graphics Processing Units
(GPUs), from low-level kernels to high-level end-user applications."
AMD recently released ROCm-7.0.0 with all the libraries and runtimes
needed to run compute applications on Linux. As an open source system
there are a lot of options for building and deploying ROCm on Linux
for users to choose from. In this talk I will give an overview of how
ROCm is structured, the options available, and requirements for users
with older AMD hardware that may no longer be officially supported. I
will also demonstrate an OpenCL application running on the GPU.
NOTE: I am not affiliated with AMD. The purpose of this talk is to
give an overview of the challenges associated with running OpenCL
applications on AMD hardware using various Linux distributions.

With luck, the talk will also be streamed live here:
