Ubuntu Summit 2024 Talk



Hello ROCm Team,

I will be speaking about the work done by the Debian ROCm Team at the Ubuntu Summit 2024 [1] next month. Obviously, due to the nature of the conference, my focus will be on Ubuntu. Nevertheless, a significant portion of my talk will be about the packages that it has imported from Debian. I've included the abstract below

----------

# ROCm for AMD GPUs on Ubuntu

This session provides an introduction to the AMD ROCm™ software platform for GPU-accelerated computing on Debian and Ubuntu. It will describe the current state of AMD GPU support for AI and HPC applications, demonstrate methods to build and run applications for AMD GPUs, and clarify some common sources of user confusion. As part of this talk, we will discuss recent community efforts to package the ROCm compute stack, as well as differences between the AMD-provided packages and the distribution-provided packages.

Hardware compatibility will be discussed as a notable point of confusion. We will cover how to determine if a given GPU is officially supported by AMD in a ROCm release, what factors may affect compatibility of unsupported hardware, and alternatives for those with unsupported hardware. We will also examine some of the ways in which the Debian AI Team has improved hardware compatibility in the packages it maintains.

----------

I still have a couple weeks before I must finalize my presentation, so let me know if there's anything you think I should cover.

Sincerely,
Cory Bloor
