March 2026 ROCm/TheRock monthly summary: Implemented policy-driven disablement for Composable Kernel (CK) by replacing the previous whitelist with a blacklist, and extended the blacklist to cover additional unsupported GPU architectures. Updated the build configuration (ml-libs/CMakeLists.txt) to automatically disable CK for any target on the blacklist, reducing maintenance churn and stabilizing CK as new architectures are introduced. This preventive change mitigates issues on unsupported targets and aligns CK behavior with supportability expectations across evolving hardware.

February 2026 monthly summary for ROCm/TheRock. Key focus on stabilizing installation packaging and reducing install-time errors for non-default prefixes. Delivered a critical bug fix that ensures the installation prefix is correctly determined when a non-default install prefix is specified, improving reliability across diverse deployment environments. This work strengthens the packaging workflow, reduces customer-facing issues, and sets a solid foundation for future enhancements.

October 2025: Focused on stabilizing CI, refining test coverage, and simplifying the codebase for ROCm-libraries. Delivered robust CI infrastructure for gfx942, migrated gfx908 tests to Nightlies, fixed flaky Nightlies on develop, and resolved critical build issues. Decommissioned deprecated solvers to reduce complexity and flakiness, while ensuring builds run with BUILD_TESTING=false. These changes improved CI reliability, reduced maintenance burden, and accelerated downstream validation across platforms, enabling faster, more confident releases.

Month 2025-09 focused on advancing MISA kernel quality and correctness for gfx950 in ROCm/rocm-libraries. Delivered a feature to regenerate MISA kernels with latest code generation optimizations across fp16 and fp32, and fixed a stride calculation bug for output dimension 1 with comprehensive tests. The work improves performance potential, reliability, and maintainability of the MISA path, reducing risk of incorrect results and out-of-bounds accesses.

July 2025 monthly summary for ROCm/MIOpen focusing on reliability improvements and correctness fixes driven by concrete metrics and test coverage. Delivered targeted bug fixes, strengthened validation with unit tests, and introduced infrastructure to support future performance improvements.

For 2025-06, ROCm/MIOpen delivered a critical edge-case fix in the MISA Solver: corrected stride calculations when filter dimensions are 1x1. This was achieved by introducing a new ProblemInterpreter class that centralizes convolution parameter interpretation, boosting robustness and correctness across edge cases. The change reduces production miscalculations for models with small spatial dimensions, increasing reliability of the solver and customer trust. Key commit: 8ad3741d082491c059ad468903dfaff2774472be ([BUG] [CONV] Fix incorrect stride calculation when w=1/h=1 in MISA solvers (#3786)). Additional work included expanding regression tests to cover 1x1 edge cases.
