AMD Simulation 26.10 Release notes#

3 min read time

Applies to Linux

This is the third release of the AMD Simulation toolkit, a comprehensive open-source software collection designed to accelerate physics-based and numerical simulations on AMD GPUs.

Release highlights#

Note

AMD Simulation 26.10 introduces four new components as part of the toolkit (with Quadrants replacing Taichi Lang); one other component remains unchanged (GSplat).

This release introduces four components:

  • Quadrants 1.3.3 is a multi-platform compiler for physics simulation. Kernels written in Python are lowered to parallel code for AMD ROCm (HIP). Genesis uses Quadrants for the numeric kernels inside its solvers, collision code, and linear algebra. Quadrants releases with support for ROCm 10.1.0.

  • Genesis 1.4.3 is a simulation platform for physical AI. A Python scene API drives rigid robots, deformable materials, fluids, and coupled solvers, with Quadrants compiling the numeric kernels. Genesis releases with support for ROCm 10.1.0.

  • Warp 1.13.0 is a single library hosted at AMD-Ecosystem/warp. It JIT-compiles regular Python functions for physics simulation, perception, robotics, and geometry processing, including MuJoCo Warp workloads. MI325X uses ROCm 7.2.0. MI350X and MI355X use ROCm 10.1.0.

  • MuJoCo Warp 3.8.1 is a GPU-accelerated MuJoCo physics simulator hosted at AMD-Ecosystem/mujoco_warp. It is written in Warp and steps thousands of parallel, contact-rich worlds for robotics and reinforcement learning. MI325X uses ROCm 7.2.0. MI350X and MI355X use ROCm 10.1.0.

System requirements#

Note

AMD Simulation components span a range of ROCm versions. Follow the installation instructions for each component, or use the compatibility matrix to verify supported ROCm versions, GPUs, and Python versions.

Detailed component changelogs#

Quadrants 1.3.3#

This release adds Quadrants 1.3.3 to AMD Simulation, with support for ROCm 10.1.0 on AMD Instinct MI300X, MI350X, and MI355X GPUs. The release image uses Python 3.12 and PyTorch 2.13.0 on Ubuntu 24.04.

Latest features:

  • Python kernels lower to the AMDGPU backend on ROCm 10.1.0.

  • PyTorch interop uses DLPack on the AMDGPU backend.

Genesis 1.4.3#

This release adds Genesis 1.4.3 to AMD Simulation, with support for ROCm 10.1.0 on AMD Instinct MI300X, MI350X, and MI355X GPUs. The release uses PyTorch 2.13 and Python 3.12 on Ubuntu 24.04, and builds on the Quadrants rocm10.1.0_r26.10 wheel.

Latest features:

  • A Python scene API steps rigid robots, deformable materials, fluids, and coupled solvers.

  • Numeric kernels are compiled with Quadrants.

Warp 1.13.0#

This release adds Warp 1.13.0, including MuJoCo Warp workloads, on Ubuntu 24.04 and Python 3.12.

Latest features:

  • AMD Instinct MI325X with ROCm 7.2.0 and PyTorch 2.9.1.

  • AMD Instinct MI350X and MI355X with ROCm 10.1.0 and PyTorch 2.14.0.

  • Warp kernels run on AMD Instinct GPUs through the HIP backend.

MuJoCo Warp 3.8.1#

This release adds MuJoCo Warp 3.8.1 on Ubuntu 24.04 and Python 3.12.

Latest features:

  • AMD Instinct MI325X with ROCm 7.2.0 and PyTorch 2.9.1.

  • AMD Instinct MI350X and MI355X with ROCm 10.1.0 and PyTorch 2.14.0.

  • Batched MuJoCo worlds run on AMD Instinct GPUs through the ROCm port of Warp.
