The support for operating systems and hardware remains consistent in this release. The ROCm components have been updated, accompanied by a table that details the versions of ROCm components for ROCm 6.3.3. Significant updates consist of a resolved issue in the ROCm Systems Profiler (0.1.2), identified challenges within the ROCm software stack, and the discontinuation of ROCTracer and ROCProfiler (rocprof and rocprofv2) in preference for ROCprofiler-SDK (rocprofv3). The __AMDGCN_WAVEFRONT_SIZE__ macro is set to be deprecated in a forthcoming release, and the HIPCC Perl scripts (hipcc.pl and hipconfig.pl) will also be eliminated in an upcoming release. The release notes offer additional details regarding compatibility with operating systems and hardware.
ROCm 6.3.3 Release
The release notes provide a summary of notable changes since the previous ROCm release.
PRO or Radeon GPUs in a workstation setting with a display connected, see the [Use ROCm on Radeon GPUs] (https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/radeon/en/latest/docs/compatibility/native_linux/native_linux_compatibility.html) documentation to verify compatibility and system requirements.
Release highlights
The following are notable new features and improvements in ROCm 6.3.3. For changes to individual components, see
Detailed component changes.ROCm Offline Installer Creator updates
The ROCm Offline Installer Creator 6.3.3 adds a new Post-Install Options menu, which includes a new
udevoption for adding GPU resources access for all users. It also moves the user-specific GPU access option (for thevideo,rendergroup) from the Driver Options menu to the Post-Install Options menu. See the ROCm Offline Installer Creator documentation for more information.ROCm documentation updates
ROCm documentation continues to be updated to provide clearer and more comprehensive guidance for a wider variety of user needs and use cases.
Tutorials for AI developers have been added. These tutorials are Jupyter notebook-based, easy-to-follow documents. They are ideal for AI developers who want to learn about specific topics, including inference, fine-tuning, and training.
The LLM inference performance validation guide for AMD Instinct MI300Xnow includes additional models for performance benchmarking. The accompanying ROCm vLLM Docker has been upgraded to ROCm 6.3.1.
The HIP documentation has been updated with new resources for developers. To learn more about concurrency, parallelism, and stream management on devices and multiple GPUs, see Asynchronous concurrent execution
The following HIP documentation topics have been updated:

The following sections describe key changes to ROCm components.
ROCm Systems Profiler (0.1.2)
Resolved issues
- Fixed an error that prevented GPU hardware activity from being presented in certain workloads.
ROCm known issues
ROCm known issues are noted on {fab}
githubGitHub. For known
issues related to individual components, review the Detailed component changes.Zero value is displayed in ROCTx aggregated statistics
The ROCTx markers are standalone markers within the ROCProfiler-SDK library. Each marker reports only a single timestamp, which is recorded as the
start_timestampandend_timestamp. As a result, the value for aggregated statistics presented inTotalDurationNs,maxNs, andminNs, is zero. The zero value indicates that the actual execution time is not associated with the markers, which is an expected behavior. See GitHub issue #4396.ROCm upcoming changes
The following changes to the ROCm software stack are anticipated for future releases.
ROCTracer and ROCProfiler (rocprof and rocprofv2) deprecation
Development and support for ROCTracer and ROCProfiler (
rocprofandrocprofv2) will phase out in favor of ROCprofiler-SDK (rocprofv3) in upcoming ROCm releases. Going forward, only critical defect fixes will be addressed for older versions of profiling tools and libraries. Upgrade to the latest version of ROCprofiler-SDK (rocprofv3) library to ensure continued support and access to new features.AMDGPU wavefront size compiler macro deprecation
The
__AMDGCN_WAVEFRONT_SIZE__macro will be deprecated in an upcoming
release. It is recommended to remove any use of this macro. For more information, see AMDGPU
support.HIPCC Perl scripts deprecation
The HIPCC Perl scripts (
hipcc.plandhipconfig.pl) will be removed in an upcoming release.
