AMD ROCm HPC-SDK
********************************************************************

The AMD ROCm™ open-source software stack is optimized to extract high-performance
computing (HPC) workload performance from AMD Instinct™ GPUs while maintaining
compatibility with industry software frameworks.

ROCm enhances support and access for developers by providing streamlined and improved
tools that significantly increase productivity. Being open-source, ROCm fosters
innovation, differentiation, and collaboration within the developer community, making it
a powerful and accessible solution for leveraging the full potential of AMD GPUs'
capabilities in diverse computational applications.

Some of the most popular HPC frameworks are part of the ROCm platform HPC-SDK, including those
that help parallelize operations across multiple GPUs and servers, handle memory
hierarchies, and solve linear systems. The HPC application catalog provides a vast set of platform-compatible HPC applications,
including those for astrophysics, climate and weather, computational chemistry,
computational fluid dynamics, earth science, genomics, geophysics, molecular dynamics,
and physics computing.

HPC-SDK includes `hipTensor <https://github.com/ROCm/rocm-libraries/tree/develop/projects/hiptensor>`_ and `rocALUTION <https://github.com/ROCm/rocm-libraries/tree/develop/projects/rocalution>`_ packaged as part of the installation.
