Developers and resources for the AMD ROCm platform now have a new site. Recently on AMD, the ROCm Developer Hub debuted as a one-stop shop for items like training, documentation, and the Developer Hub’s connections to all the resources you need to successfully work with the AMD ROCm platform are provided with the intention of making it simpler for developers to locate what they’re searching for and acting as a developer home page. The Hub clearly emphasises resources like where to obtain the new AMD ROCm platform textbook, how to access the newly redesigned AMD ROCm platform Docs site, and how to register for forthcoming training webinars.
Finally, you can find all the latest AMD ROCm platform blog content by checking out the Featured AMD ROCm platform Blogs section. Here is where you will find some of our most popular content, including major release blogs, information on using the new AMD ROCm platform Docs site, and the AMD Lab Notes blog series.
AMD is constantly seeking for ways to make ROCm simpler for consumers and developers to use and install on systems, and it offers technical docs and learning aids to assist those efforts.
Resources that are useful include:
- The ROCm web pages, which give a summary of the platform’s features as well as the HPC & AI markets and workloads it supports.
- AMD ROCm DOCs is a site where you can get API and support documentation as well as all the information you need to operate with the most recent ROCm versions.
- AMD Infinity Hub provides information about ROCm supported HPC apps and ML frameworks, as well as instructions on how to download and install the most recent versions. Additionally, you have access to the ROCm Application Catalogue, which offers a current list of programmes that support ROCm.
- Finally, find out more about the server solutions from our partners and the AMD Instinct MI200 Series family of accelerators in our AMD Instinct Server Solutions Catalogue.
