Enter through the Engineering Building. The room is downstairs, follow the signs. If the outside door is locked and there isn't anyone to let you in, look for the sign and a cell number to text.

Description
Summary:
ROCm is a software stack, composed primarily of open-source software, that provides the tools for programming AMD Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), from low-level kernels to high-level end-user applications.
AMD recently released ROCm-7.0.0 with all the libraries and runtimes needed to run compute applications on Linux. As an open source system there are a lot of options for building and deploying ROCm on Linux for users to choose from. In this talk I will give an overview of how ROCm is structured, the options available, and requirements for users with older AMD hardware that may no longer be officially supported. I will also demonstrate an OpenCL application running on the GPU.
NOTE: I am not affiliated with AMD. The purpose of this talk is to give an overview of the challenges associated with running OpenCL applications on AMD hardware using various Linux distributions.
