Install rocFFT#

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 and install rocFFT from source.

Install the ROCm Core SDK#

rocFFT 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 FFT libraries on Linux#

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

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

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

    amdrocm-fft<-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-fft-dev7.13-gfx950

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

    sudo apt install amdrocm-fft-dev
    
    sudo dnf install amdrocm-fft-devel
    
    sudo zypper install amdrocm-fft-devel
    

Install a nightly build#

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