Jan 1, 2026

January 2026: Focused on cross-environment build reliability and ROCm 7.1.1 alignment for ROCm-examples. Implemented conditional CK builds, architecture filtering, and Makefile/CMake enhancements to support diverse GPU architectures, plus enabling CK examples on GitHub runners. Updated to ROCm 7.1.1 and removed unsupported gfx arches. Performance tweaks (O3, limited parallelism) and graph API placement fixes were applied. CI stability improvements included correcting typos in CI workflow/CMake forward declarations and temporarily disabling an unstable mv_objdetect test in MIVisionX to keep builds green.

Nov 1, 2025

November 2025 achieved a successful ROCm 7.1 ecosystem upgrade across core workloads, expanded Composable Kernel capabilities, and refreshed documentation presentation. Key features delivered include 7.1 updates across GEMM, attention, MoE, FMHA generation, normalization, and quantization, plus elementwise/tensor manipulation enhancements in Composable Kernel. Major bugs fixed include MoE reliability improvements and arch information, and updated integer types to align with 7.1. Documentation readability improvements were implemented by disabling continuous numbering of figures and tables across docs-core and ROCm docs. The work enhances business value by enabling easier adoption of ROCm 7.1, improving correctness and performance visibility, and delivering clearer docs for developers.

2025-09 monthly summary for ROCm/rocm-examples: Delivered a targeted update to the P2P memory access example to improve clarity, reliability, and relevance for demonstrations of host-device memory transfers. The p2p_memory_access_failed example was renamed and reorganized to p2p_memory_access_host_staging, and behavior was adjusted to allow the memory copy to succeed by removing the explicit failure condition. This refactor enhances onboarding, reduces confusion for new contributors, and provides a more accurate demonstration of host staging behavior in P2P memory access.
