with guidance on using theupdate-alternativesutility and environment modules to help you manage multiple ROCm
versions and streamline PATH configuration. -
Updated the LLM inference performance validation on AMD Instinct
MI300X
documentation with more detailed guidance, new models, and thefloat8data type.
Operating system and hardware support changes
ROCm 6.2.4 adds support for the AMD Radeon PRO V710 GPU for compute workloads. See
Supported GPUs
for more information.
This release maintains the same operating system support as 6.2.2.

Detailed component changes
The following sections describe key changes to ROCm components.
AMD SMI (24.6.3)
Resolved issues
- Fixed support for the API calls
amdsmi_get_gpu_process_isolationand
amdsmi_clean_gpu_local_data, along with theamd-smi set --process-isolation <0 or 1>command. See issue
#3500 on GitHub.

Optimized
- Implemented 1D kernels for factorizable sizes greater than 1024 and less than 2048.
Resolved issues
- Fixed plan creation failure on some even-length real-complex transforms that use Bluestein's algorithm.
rocSOLVER (3.26.2)
Resolved issues
- Fixed synchronization issue in STEIN.
ROCm known issues
ROCm known issues are tracked on GitHub.
Known issues related to individual components are listed in the Detailed component changes
section.
ROCm upcoming changes
The following changes to the ROCm software stack are anticipated for future releases.
rocm-llvm-alt
The rocm-llvm-alt package will be removed in an upcoming release. Users relying on the functionality provided by the closed-source compiler should transition to the open-source compiler. Once the rocm-llvm-alt package is removed, any compilation requesting functionality provided by the closed-source compiler will result in a Clang warning: "[AMD] proprietary optimization compiler has been removed".
rccl-rdma-sharp-plugins
The RCCL plugin package, rccl-rdma-sharp-plugins, will be removed in an upcoming ROCm release.
