Install hipSOLVER

Install hipSOLVER#

Before you begin, verify that your system is supported. For more information, see ROCm Core SDK components.

For advanced workflows, source builds, or custom configurations, see Build hipSOLVER from source.

Install the ROCm Core SDK#

hipSOLVER is included with the ROCm Core SDK on Linux and Windows. For the most complete installation on Linux, we recommend that developers use the amdrocm-core-sdk meta package.

For instructions, see Install AMD ROCm. Use the selector panel on that page to view instructions appropriate for your system environment.

Install ROCm solver libraries on Linux#

Alternatively, if you want to install hipSOLVER as part of the ROCm solver package (a subset of the ROCm Core SDK amdrocm-core-sdk) without additional ROCm libraries and tools, install the amdrocm-solver package. This includes hipSOLVER and rocSOLVER.

  1. Complete the ROCm installation prerequisites to install dependencies and configure GPU access permissions.

  2. Install the ROCm solver package that matches your desired ROCm version, development package needs, and AMD GPU architecture. Package names use the following format:

    amdrocm-solver<-dev/-devel><rocm_version><-llvm_target>

    Where:

    • <-dev/-devel> specifies whether to install the library files and headers. Omit this suffix to only install runtime packages.

      • -dev is used on Debian-based distributions, including Ubuntu.

      • -devel is used on RPM-based distributions, including RHEL and SLES.

    • <rocm_version> is the ROCm Core SDK version to install. Omit this suffix to install the latest available version.

    • <-llvm_target> (starting with gfx) is used if you are installing for a single AMD GPU architecture. Omit this to install for all architectures at the cost of disk space.

    For example: amdrocm-solver-dev7.13-gfx950

    Use the following command to install the latest FFT development package release for supported GPU architectures:

    sudo apt install amdrocm-solver-dev

    sudo dnf install amdrocm-solver-devel

    sudo zypper install amdrocm-solver-devel

Install a nightly build#

The TheRock build system also publishes nightly builds for the ROCm Core SDK and its components, including hipSOLVER. See Nightly release status for details.
