This page provides brief guidance and recommendations on setting up a ROCm-enabled environment for financial computing workloads. This includes pulling and running prebuilt ROCm Docker images for supported Ubuntu versions and installing ROCm-Finance libraries such as LightGBM, and ThunderGBM.

Install ROCm#

To get up and running quickly, a prebuilt ROCm-enabled container is recommended. The easiest way is to use the offical ROCm Docker images from Docker Hub. See Docker images in the ROCm ecosystem for more information.

  1. Pull a ROCm dev Docker image with a supported configuration (see Docker Hub to browse available images). For example:

    docker pull rocm/dev-ubuntu-24.04:7.0.2-complete

    See rocm/dev-ubuntu-24.04:7.0.2-complete on Docker Hub.

    docker pull rocm/dev-ubuntu-22.04:7.0.2-complete

    See rocm/dev-ubuntu-22.04:7.0.2-complete on Docker Hub.

    docker pull rocm/dev-ubuntu-24.04:6.4.4-complete

    See rocm/dev-ubuntu-24.04:6.4.4-complete on Docker Hub.

    docker pull rocm/dev-ubuntu-22.04:6.4.4-complete

    See rocm/dev-ubuntu-22.04:6.4.4-complete on Docker Hub.

  2. Launch the Docker container.

    docker run -it \
    --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE \
    --ipc=host \
    --privileged=true \
    --shm-size=128GB \
    --network=host \
    --device=/dev/kfd \
    --device=/dev/dri \
    --group-add video \
    -v $HOME:$HOME \
    --name rocm7 \
    rocm/dev-ubuntu-24.04:7.0.2-complete

    docker run -it \
    --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE \
    --ipc=host \
    --privileged=true \
    --shm-size=128GB \
    --network=host \
    --device=/dev/kfd \
    --device=/dev/dri \
    --group-add video \
    -v $HOME:$HOME \
    --name rocm7 \
    rocm/dev-ubuntu-22.04:7.0.2-complete

    docker run -it \
    --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE \
    --ipc=host \
    --privileged=true \
    --shm-size=128GB \
    --network=host \
    --device=/dev/kfd \
    --device=/dev/dri \
    --group-add video \
    -v $HOME:$HOME \
    --name rocm6 \
    rocm/dev-ubuntu-24.04:6.4.4-complete

    docker run -it \
    --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE \
    --ipc=host \
    --privileged=true \
    --shm-size=128GB \
    --network=host \
    --device=/dev/kfd \
    --device=/dev/dri \
    --group-add video \
    -v $HOME:$HOME \
    --name rocm6 \
    rocm/dev-ubuntu-22.04:6.4.4-complete
