This section provides information about the required meta-packages for the following AMD ROCm programming models:
Heterogeneous-Computing Interface for Portability (HIP)
OpenCL™
OpenMP™
ROCm package naming conventions#
A meta-package is a grouping of related packages and dependencies used to support a specific use case.
Example: Running HIP applications
All meta-packages exist in both versioned and non-versioned forms.
Non-versioned packages: For a single-version installation of the ROCm stack
Versioned packages: For multi-version installations of the ROCm stack
The figure above demonstrates the single and multi-version ROCm packages’ naming structure, including examples for various Linux distributions. See terms below:
Module - It is the part of the package that represents the name of the ROCm component.
Example: The examples mentioned in the image represent the ROCm HIP module.
Module version - It is the version of the library released in that package. It should increase with a newer release.
Release version - It shows the ROCm release version when the package was released.
Example: 50400 points to the ROCm 5.4.0 release.
Build id - It represents the build number for that release.
Arch - It shows the architecture for which the package was created.
Distro - It describes the distribution for which the package was created. It is valid only for rpm packages.
Example: el8 represents RHEL 8.x packages.
Components of ROCm programming models#
The figure below demonstrates the high-level layered architecture of ROCm programming models and their meta-packages. All meta-packages are a combination of required packages and libraries.
Note
The preceding figure is for informational purposes only. The individual packages in a meta-package are subject to change. To avoid conflicts, install meta-packages, not individual packages.
Example:
rocm-hip-runtimeis used to deploy on supported machines to execute HIP applications.rocm-hip-sdkcontains runtime components to deploy and execute HIP applications.
Note
rocm-llvm is not a meta-package; it’s a single package that installs the ROCm Clang compiler files.
