Monthly work summary for ROCm/rocprofiler-compute — July 2025. This period focused on delivering cross-platform stability, extending roofline analytics for ROCm 7, and tightening CI/CD workflows, while addressing Python compatibility and MI350 test alignment to ensure reliable performance profiling across environments.

June 2025 performance highlights for ROCm/rocprofiler-compute: Delivered enhanced Roofline analysis capabilities, stabilized GUI workflow, and improved documentation to accelerate profiling-driven decision-making. Implementations enable dynamic Compute Unit detection via HIP, cleaner visuals by removing datatype info, terminal-based roofline plotting via CLI, and Roofline PDF generation during profiling, strengthening the performance analysis toolchain for developers and performance engineers.

May 2025 (2025-05) focused on strengthening Roofline profiling reliability, expanding data-type support for the MI350 family, and simplifying tooling to improve deployment and maintainability. Key changes reduce runtime overhead, improve profiling accuracy, and directly support performance analysis goals for ROCm users.

April 2025 performance summary for ROCm/rocprofiler-compute: delivered notable Roofline enhancements, cross-distro packaging readiness, and CI/documentation improvements that expand hardware coverage, stabilize performance profiling, and streamline release processes. Key outcomes include datatype-aware Roofline analysis with a standalone GUI, RHEL 10 packaging fixes, MI350 Roofline support, CI workflow modernization, and updated CODEOWNERS for documentation ownership.

Concise monthly summary for 2025-03 focusing on ROCm/rocprofiler-compute. Delivered FP8 datatype support and visualization in roofline analysis, added CLI/datatype selection and outputs, fixed plotting dependencies and added robust logging, and extended platform support with Alibaba Cloud Linux 3. Result: improved profiling accuracy, broader platform coverage, and more robust visualization across MI GPUs.

February 2025 – ROCm/rocprofiler-compute: Delivered major release readiness for ROCm Compute Profiler 3.1.0 with updated docs, versioning, and release notes. Added Ubuntu 24.04 Roofline support and expanded hardware coverage for Roofline analysis. Ensured accurate release notes and CHANGELOG updates, with traceable changes committed for governance and customer-ready tooling.

January 2025 accomplishments span ROCm/rocprofiler-compute and ROCm/rocprofiler-systems, focusing on OS compatibility, monitoring reliability, and data quality. Key outcomes include Ubuntu 24.04 support in the Roofline tool (detection, Docker mapping to the noble ROCm repo, and updated detect_roofline/mibench path logic), and a major modernization of system-level GPU metrics by migrating from ROCm-SMI to AMD-SMI with more granular per-engine busy metrics. Cross-repo alignment and build/config updates reinforce maintainability and future-proofing, ensuring continued GPU visibility on current platforms. Business value is improved OS compatibility, reliable performance data for customers, and reduced risk of deprecation-related breakages. Commits underpinning the work include 7602341b703ccb7948dfedaad7d70f854e9de4e9 and 0c32dfd6bc480d13630b7d9c9adab39b6609a466.

November 2024 monthly summary for ROCm/rocprofiler-systems focused on stabilizing the PAPI build process to improve reliability and reduce CI flakiness. Delivered a targeted change to serialize the PAPI 'configure' step to a single job, mitigating intermittent failures due to file availability and improving overall build stability for the PAPI component.
