Description : ROCm library for basic linear algebra
rocBLAS is a library for performing basic linear algebra routines
on AMD GPUs. It provides implementations of BLAS operations such as
dot product (DOT), general matrix multiplication (GEMM), triangular
matrix multiplication (TRMM), and many others. It is built on the
AMD ROCm platform and optimized for discrete AMD GPUs. The rocBLAS
library is implemented in the HIP programming language and is
supplemented by tuned assembly kernels.
rocBLAS provides a C99 interface and supports operations on matrices
of half-, single- or double-precision floating point numbers. The
library provides variants for its routines that efficiently operate
on batches of matrices and that support a variety of data layouts.
rocBLAS is a key package required to leverage AMD GPU hardware for
scientific computing and AI. Many applications in that domain benefit
significantly from fast matrix multiplication. The rocBLAS library is
a dependency of PyTorch, Tensorflow, Tasmanian, pika and others. It's
also required by other components of the ROCm platform such as hipBLAS,
rocSOLVER, hipSOLVER, rocALUTION, MIOpen, and MIGraphX.
