AMD has released ROCm 7.2.1, which introduces official support for Ubuntu 24.04.4 while discontinuing support for version 24.04.3. Users with Instinct MI300X cards may experience performance regressions for certain large matrix configurations until a future update addresses issues with the hipBLASLt search logic. The outdated Offline Installer Creator has been replaced by a self-extracting Runfile Installer, necessitating updates to existing automation scripts to ensure compatibility. Additionally, legacy profiling tools like ROCTracer are being phased out, prompting users to migrate to the newer ROCprofiler-SDK library to maintain access to performance monitoring capabilities
ROCm 7.2.1 released
AMD has pushed out ROCm 7.2.1 to add official support for Ubuntu 24.04.4 and mark the end of life for version 24.04.3. Certain large matrix configurations on Instinct MI300X cards could see performance regressions until the next update fixes the hipBLASLt search logic. The discontinued Offline Installer Creator has been replaced by the self-extracting Runfile Installer for all new installations. Legacy profiling tools like ROCTracer are being phased out so teams should migrate their monitoring scripts to the newer ROCprofiler-SDK library now.
