AMD ROCm Finance 26.01 release notes#
2 min read time
This release introduces the popular XGBoost library to the ROCm-Finance toolkit, enhancing machine learning capabilites for financial workloads.
Release highlights#
XGBoost is fully accelerated on AMD Instinct MI300X and MI325X GPUs (gfx942) through ROCm 7.1.1, 7.0.2, or 6.4.4. This integration optimizes kernels, improves memory management, and enables seamless multi-GPU scaling on supported AMD GPUs.
Key benefits of this integration include:
Hardware acceleration: Parallelizes split-finding on the GPU to deliver significant performance gains over CPU-only baselines.
Financial risk optimization: Accelerates large-scale tasks such as credit risk scoring, fraud detection, and loan default modeling.
Compliance and precision: Increases throughput while maintaining the native robustness (L1/L2 regularization) and missing value handling of XGBoost.
Note
ROCm-Finance libraries introduced in the 25.11 release, LightGBM and ThunderGBM, are currently only supported on MI300X GPUs, and ROCm 7.0.2 and 6.4.4.
Supported platforms#
