Public bug reported: Please sync rocrand 5.7.1-4 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)
This sync requires a FeatureFreeze exception. This package version requires rocm-hipamd 5.7.1, which is being tracked in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rocm-hipamd/+bug/2058606. # Why a new upstream version is necessary 1. The rocrand library was failing to sync for a while and is therefore stuck on upstream version 5.3.3, which predates support for the Radeon 7000 series of GPUs (added in 5.4.0). As this is a library used for High-Performance Computing and AI, support for modern hardware is very important. 2. The upstream ROCm 5.7.1 version was the last release of the ROCm 5 series. While both ROCm 5.3 and ROCm 5.7 are no longer supported upstream, there will be a much larger community using ROCm 5.7. Knowledge sharing within this larger community will be beneficial for the long-term maintenance of the noble release. 3. The versions of ROCm components included on Ubuntu Noble are very inconsistent. This FeatureFreeze exception is one of several that I will be filing in an attempt to get as much of the ROCm stack as possible onto the upstream 5.7.1 release. The narrower the range of versions, the better. Ubuntu does not have significant automated testing for the AMD GPU libraries, so it is safer to use versions that closely correspond to what upstream and Debian are using (as both do significant testing on these libraries). # Other Notes The build log (using rocm-hipamd 5.7.1-3) is attached and includes the build tests. The upstream change log is also attached. Note that Debian has not packaged the Python bindings, so the Python-related changes are irrelevant. ** Affects: rocrand (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "rocrand-5.7.1-4-build.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2060424/+attachment/5762042/+files/rocrand-5.7.1-4-build.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2060424 Title: Sync rocrand 5.7.1-4 (universe) from Debian unstable (main) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rocrand/+bug/2060424/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
