Concise monthly summary for ROCm/hipSOLVER focused on delivering complex-number support in sparse solves and solid code quality.

Monthly work summary for 2025-03 focusing on ROCm/rocSOLVER: - The major initiative this month was deprecating gfx940/gfx941 architecture support, including removal of legacy code paths and synchronization concerns, to simplify maintenance and align with the roadmap. - The effort centered on code cleanup and a streamlined execution path to reflect deprecation, reducing future maintenance overhead and paving the way for architecture-wide optimizations in newer targets.

November 2024 focused on improving build reliability, validation tooling, and expanding solver capabilities across ROCm libraries. Key outcomes include sanitizer-aware build stabilization for rocSOLVER, enhanced GPU result hashing for reproducibility, and the integration of a sparse QR solver in hipSOLVER with supporting tests/docs/build updates. These changes reduce build-time issues, enable robust validation of GPU computations, and broaden the problem space solvable with ROCm solvers, delivering clearer business value through lower maintenance, faster validation cycles, and broader user adoption.

In 2024-10, delivered a targeted build-system improvement for ROCm/hipSOLVER to enhance static library reliability and reduce runtime dependencies, by ensuring no dynamic sparse loading occurs when building a static library. This clarifies packaging expectations and lowers deployment risk for users relying on static linking.
