What: ROCm Deployment on Linux
Where: 1930 SW 4th Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97201-5304, Room 86-01
When: Thursday, October 2, 2025 at 7 PM
Why: The pursuit of technology freedom
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.
