([AMD] 4 Hours Ago AMD ROCm 7.1.1)


Following the release of [1]ROCm 7.1 from just under one month ago, ROCm 7.1.1 is now available with expanded Linux operating system support, continued Instinct MI350 series work, more large language models working on RDNA4 GPUs, and other enhancements.

ROCm 7.1.1 is now available as the newest point release for this open-source AMD GPU compute stack for Radeon and Instinct hardware. Some of the ROCm 7.1.1 release highlights include:

- Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.1 (RHEL 10.1) that was recently released along with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.7.

- Support for the AMD Instinct MI350X and Instinct MI355X hardware on Debian 13 is now working.

- Ubuntu 24.04 as a guest OS in KVM SR_IOV on AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs is now supported.

- Finer-grain resliency for Instinct MI355X with being able to reset the VCN/JPEG media engines without requiring a full video reset should Video Core Next (VCN) run into any issues.

- GEMM kernel selection efficiency has improved using Origami.

- Performance improvements in CK/AITER fused-attn mode.

- Support for Hugging Face Transformers, Microsoft Phi-4-multimodal-instruct, and Qwen QwW-32B are now working for RDNA4 GFX1201 GPUs.

- Google Gemma 3 27B meanwhile works for RDNA3 GFX1100 GPUs.

- Support for PyTorch 2.9.

Overall a pretty nice update for one month's worth of work and being a point release. ROCm 7.1.1 download details and more information are available from [2]rocm.docs.amd.com .

Gibson's Springtime Song (to the tune of "Deck the Halls"):

'Tis the season to chase mousies (Fa la la la la, la la la la)
Snatch them from their little housies (...)
First we chase them 'round the field (...)
Then we have them for a meal (...)

Toss them here and catch them there (...)
See them flying through the air (...)
Watch them fly and hear them squeal (...)
Falling mice have great appeal (...)

See the hunter stretched before us (...)
He's chased the mice in field and forest (...)
Watch him clean his long white whiskers (...)
Of the blood of little critters (...)
