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
