AMD has unveiled the latest release of its open software, AMD ROCm 6.1.3, marking the next step in its strategy to make ROCm software broadly available across its GPU portfolio, including AMD Radeon desktop GPUs. The new release gives developers broader support for Radeon GPUs to run ROCm AI workloads. “The new AMD ROCm release extends functional parity from data center to desktops, enabling AI research and development on readily available and accessible platforms,” said Andrej Zdravkovic, senior vice president at AMD.
Key feature enhancements in this release focus on improving compatibility, accessibility, and scalability, and include:
- Multi-GPU support to enable building scalable AI desktops for multi-serving, multi-user solutions.
- Beta-level support for Windows Subsystem for Linux, allowing these solutions to work with ROCm on a Windows OS-based system.
- TensorFlow Framework support offering more choice for AI development.
