AMD Simulation is an open-source software toolkit built on the ROCm™ platform, enabling high-performance physical simulations and advanced computational graphics on AMD GPUs. This toolkit enables workloads such as scientific computing, computer graphics, robotics, and AI-driven simulation to run on AMD Instinct™ GPUs and benefit from the optimizations available on those GPUs. AMD Simulation builds on the core ROCm libraries to combine frameworks and specialized libraries that accelerate physics-based and numerical simulations.
These tools use ROCm’s HIP runtime, optimized math libraries, and PyTorch integration to deliver high throughput for compute-intensive tasks. This provides you with efficient, scalable solutions for real-time and offline simulation workloads. Physical simulation workloads, such as fluid mechanics, rigid-body dynamics, and volumetric rendering, require significant computational resources. By leveraging ROCm’s open-source GPU stack together with the AMD Instinct product line, you gain performance from optimized kernels, flexibility from integration with Python and machine learning frameworks, and scalability with multi-GPU clusters and high- performance computing (HPC) support.
AMD Simulation provides a cohesive set of libraries and frameworks that support the simulation workflow, from physics kernels and numerical solvers to rendering and multi-GPU scaling. Each component is optimized for GPU performance on AMD Instinct GPUs while offering Python-friendly APIs and integrations with popular tools such as PyTorch, so that you can plug simulation workloads into existing research and production pipelines with minimal friction.
