8 min read time
The release notes provide a summary of notable changes since the previous ROCm release.
Note
If you’re using Radeon™ PRO or Radeon GPUs in a workstation setting with a display connected, continue to use ROCm 6.2.3. See the Use ROCm on Radeon GPUs documentation to verify compatibility and system requirements.
Release highlights#
The following are notable new features and improvements in ROCm 6.2.4. For changes to individual components, see Detailed component changes.
ROCm documentation updates#
ROCm documentation continues to be updated to provide clearer and more comprehensive guidance for a wider variety of user needs and use cases.
Added a new GPU cluster networking guide. See Cluster network performance validation for AMD Instinct accelerators. This documentation provides guidelines on validating network configurations in single-node and multi-node environments to attain optimal speed and bandwidth in AMD Instinct-powered clusters.
Updated the HIP runtime documentation.
Added a new section on how to use HIP graphs.
Added a new section about the Stream ordered memory allocator (SOMA).
Updated the Porting CUDA driver API section.
Updated the Post-installation instructions with guidance on using the
update-alternativesutility and environment modules to help you manage multiple ROCm versions and streamline PATH configuration.Updated the LLM inference performance validation on AMD Instinct MI300X documentation with more detailed guidance, new models, and the
float8data type.
Operating system and hardware support changes#
ROCm 6.2.4 adds support for the AMD Radeon PRO V710 GPU for compute workloads. See Supported GPUs for more information.
This release maintains the same operating system support as 6.2.2.

Detailed component changes#
The following sections describe key changes to ROCm components.
AMD SMI (24.6.3)#
Resolved issues#
Fixed support for the API calls
amdsmi_get_gpu_process_isolationandamdsmi_clean_gpu_local_data, along with theamd-smi set --process-isolation <0 or 1>command. See issue #3500 on GitHub.
rocFFT (1.0.30)#
Optimized#
Implemented 1D kernels for factorizable sizes greater than 1024 and less than 2048.
Resolved issues#
Fixed plan creation failure on some even-length real-complex transforms that use Bluestein’s algorithm.
rocSOLVER (3.26.2)#
Resolved issues#
Fixed synchronization issue in STEIN.
ROCm known issues#
ROCm known issues are tracked on GitHub. Known issues related to individual components are listed in the Detailed component changes section.
ROCm upcoming changes#
The following changes to the ROCm software stack are anticipated for future releases.
rocm-llvm-alt#
The rocm-llvm-alt package will be removed in an upcoming release. Users relying on the functionality provided by the closed-source compiler should transition to the open-source compiler. Once the rocm-llvm-alt package is removed, any compilation requesting functionality provided by the closed-source compiler will result in a Clang warning: “[AMD] proprietary optimization compiler has been removed”.
rccl-rdma-sharp-plugins#
The RCCL plugin package, rccl-rdma-sharp-plugins, will be removed in an upcoming ROCm release.
