Hi folks,
I've reviewed, merged and updated Xuanteng's update of the HIP
runtime [1]. This is the final upstream release of ROCm that was
based on LLVM 17. It is a stepping stone to the ROCm 6.4 update,
which will update the compiler to LLVM 19.
There have been a number of binary package additions and removals. The libamdhip64-5 and libhiprtc-builtins5 packages have been replaced by libamdhip64-6 and libhiprtc-builtins6, respectively. The libhiprtc6 package has been added to provide the hiprtc::hiprtc target (Bug #1088540). The hipcc package has been removed as it was moved upstream and is now part of src:rocm-llvm. The hip-utils package has been added to provide the other rocm-hipamd utilities that were previously part of the hipcc package. The libamdhip64-doc package has been removed because it has been broken for a long time (as reported in Bug #1099403) and the effort required to fix it is too much for me to handle right now.
I've tested the package by building src:rocrand. It completes 99% of the build, but fails because there is one test in hiprand that relies on the __HIP_PLATFORM_HCC__ macro that was removed in ROCm 6.0.
The version number is 6.1.5-1~exp2 as I saw that 6.1.5-1~exp1 had already been tagged in the salsa repo. That version of rocm-hipamd doesn't seem to have ever been uploaded (although reportbug suggests checking if bugs are fixed in 6.1.5-1~exp1 for some reason). In any case, I chose a larger version number to minimize confusion.
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "rocm-hipamd":
* Package name : rocm-hipamd
Version : 6.1.5-1~exp2
* URL : https://github.com/ROCm/clr
* License : Khronos, Expat, Apache-2
* Vcs : https://salsa.debian.org/rocm-team/rocm-hipamd
Section : devel
The source builds the following binary packages:
libamdhip64-6 - HIP runtime for AMD GPUs - library
libamdhip64-dev - HIP runtime for AMD GPUs - headers
libhiprtc6 - HIP runtime compilation library
libhiprtc-builtins6 - HIP runtime compilation library - builtins
hip-utils - utilities for HIP language development
rocm-opencl-icd - AMD ROCm implementation of the OpenCL API - ICD runtime
To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/rocm-hipamd/
Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this command:
dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/rocm-hipamd/rocm-hipamd_6.1.5-1~exp2.dsc
Changes since the last upload:
rocm-hipamd (6.1.5-1~exp2) experimental; urgency=medium
.
* Update package descriptions
* Add hip-utils package containing scripts that had previously
been in the hipcc binary package but remained part of
src:rocm-hipamd even after hipcc was moved to src:rocm-llvm
* Patch roc-obj to use the same version of LLVM as hipcc
* Update standards version to 4.7.2. No changes required.
* Mark libhiprtc6 as Multi-Arch: same
* Move libhiprtc6 development files to libamdhip64-dev
* Add symbol tracking for libhiprtc6
* d/control: remove unused librocm-smi-dev from Build-Depends
* Remove libamdhip64-doc package. The libamdhip64-doc package no
longer includes much useful information and it would require
significant effort to fix that (Closes: #1099403)
.
