AMD ROCm 6.3.3 Released With Installer & Documentation Improvements

([AMD] 4 Hours Ago AMD ROCm 6.3.3)


Just a few weeks after the [1]ROCm 6.3.2 update , ROCm 6.3.3 is out this evening with a few more incremental improvements to this open-source AMD GPU compute stack.

The ROCm 6.3.3 changes appear focused on installer and documentation enhancements. On the installer side, the ROCm Offline Installer Creator has added a new post-install menu. Post-installation is now the ability to set the udev rules for GPU resource access to all users. This is convenient and makes it easier for getting ROCm up and running for single-user installations and other cases where not needing to manage more fine-grained user access control.

On the documentation side, ROCm 6.3.3 documentation includes new tutorials for AI developers, an LLM inference performance validation guide for the Instinct MI300X, HIP documentation updates, and other documentation improvements.

There aren't any other listed ROCm 6.3.3 changes nor any updates to the supported Linux operating systems and/or supported GPUs.

ROCm 6.3.3 details via [2]GitHub . The ROCm 6.3 release branch has been going on long, so hopefully a new major release will be out soon -- ideally with timely RDNA4 consumer GPU support too.

As part of an ongoing effort to keep you, the Fortune reader, abreast of
the valuable information that daily crosses the USENET, Fortune presents:

News articles that answer *your* questions, #1:

Newsgroups: comp.sources.d
Subject: how do I run C code received from sources
Keywords: C sources
Distribution: na

I do not know how to run the C programs that are posted in the
sources newsgroup. I save the files, edit them to remove the
headers, and change the mode so that they are executable, but I
cannot get them to run. (I have never written a C program before.)

Must they be compiled? With what compiler? How do I do this? If
I compile them, is an object code file generated or must I generate
it explicitly with the > character? Is there something else that
must be done?
