The upcoming release of AMD ROCm 6.2 is anticipated to enhance the open-source AMD Radeon/Instinct GPU compute stack with new features. There is a growing interest in the ROCm software stack, particularly with the AMD Instinct MI300 series gaining traction in the GPU compute space. AMD is working on formal ROCm support for more consumer GPUs, with plans to package ROCm 6.2 for the upcoming Fedora 41 release. The AOMP AMD OpenMP device offloading compiler is expected to be included in the ROCm 6.2 release. Although the release was briefly withdrawn from the AOMP repository, preparations are underway for the imminent debut of ROCm 6.2. The community is eager to see potential AI/deep learning improvements, performance optimizations, and expanded support for Radeon GPUs in ROCm 6.2. Additionally, there are hopes for official ROCm support with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Users are encouraged to share their expectations and thoughts on ROCm 6.2 in the forums.
