# AMD ROCm documentation

ROCm is an open-source software platform optimized to extract HPC and AI workload
performance from AMD Instinct GPUs and AMD Radeon GPUs while maintaining
compatibility with industry software frameworks. For more information, see
[What is ROCm?](./what-is-rocm.rst)

ROCm supports multiple programming languages and programming interfaces such as
{doc}`HIP <hip:index>`, OpenCL, and OpenMP, as explained in the [Programming guide](./how-to/programming_guide.rst).

If you're using AMD Radeon™ GPUs or Ryzen™ APUs for graphics workloads, see the {doc}`ROCm on Radeon and Ryzen <radeon:index>` documentation.

```{note}
The [AMD ROCm Programming Guide](https://rocm-handbook.amd.com/projects/amd-rocm-programming-guide/en/latest/)
presents key ROCm concepts in a structured, book-style format, a helpful
starting point for those new to GPU programming.
```

ROCm documentation is organized into the following categories:
