ROCm [3] is an Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) software stack for graphics processing unit (GPU) programming. ROCm spans several domains: general-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU), high performance computing (HPC), heterogeneous computing.
The relevant term is of the porting target is computer architecture; it comprises the instruction set(s) and the microarchitecture(s) of the processor(s), at least of the CPU. The target also comprises the "system design" of the entire system, be it a supercomputer , a desktop computer or some SoC , e.g. in case some unique bus is being used.
AMDgpu is an open source device driver for the Linux operating system developed by AMD to support its Radeon lineup of graphics cards (GPUs). It was announced in 2014 as the successor to the previous radeon device driver as part of AMD's new "unified" driver strategy, [3] and was released on April 20, 2015.
DRM augments the Linux System Call Interface with own system calls. [57] The Linux DRM subsystem includes free and open-source drivers to support hardware from the 3 main manufacturers of GPUs for desktop computers (AMD, NVIDIA and Intel), as well as from a growing number of mobile GPU and System on a chip (SoC) integrators. The quality of each ...
The OS natively supports Nvidia, Intel, and AMD graphics processors. [42] [43] Version 3.0 added full support for peripheral devices, allowing SteamOS devices such as the Deck to be used as conventional PCs. Version 3.0 is based on Arch Linux, rather than Debian, with some customizations.
AMD K6 – the K6 was not based on the K5 and was instead based on the Nx686 processor that was being designed by NexGen when that company was bought by AMD. The K6 was generally pin-compatible with the Intel Pentium (unlike NexGen's existing processors). AMD K6-2 – an improved K6 with the addition of the 3DNow! SIMD instructions.
Gallium3D has been a part of Mesa since 2009 [156] and is currently used by the free and open-source graphics driver for Nvidia (nouveau project), [157] [158] for AMD's R300–R900, [159] [160] [161] Intel's 'Iris' driver for generation 8+ iGPUs [162] and for other free and open-source GPU device drivers.
Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) is a cross-vendor set of specifications that allow for the integration of central processing units and graphics processors on the same bus, with shared memory and tasks. [1] The HSA is being developed by the HSA Foundation, which includes (among many others) AMD and ARM.
