Full documentation for HIP is available at docs.amd.com

(Unreleased) HIP 6.0 (For ROCm 6.0)

Optimizations

Added

Changed

Fixed

Known Issues

HIP 5.7.1 (For ROCm 5.7.1)

Fixed

• hipPointerGetAttributes API returns the correct HIP memory type as hipMemoryTypeManaged for managed memory.

HIP 5.7 (For ROCm 5.7)

Optimizations

Added

• Added meta_group_size/rank for getting the number of tiles and rank of a tile in the partition

• Added new APIs supporting Windows only, under development on Linux

  • hipMallocMipmappedArray for allocating a mipmapped array on the device

  • hipFreeMipmappedArray for freeing a mipmapped array on the device

  • hipGetMipmappedArrayLevel for getting a mipmap level of a HIP mipmapped array

  • hipMipmappedArrayCreate for creating a mipmapped array

  • hipMipmappedArrayDestroy for destroy a mipmapped array

  • hipMipmappedArrayGetLevel for getting a mipmapped array on a mipmapped level

Changed

Fixed

Known Issues

• HIP memory type enum values currently don't support equivalent value to cudaMemoryTypeUnregistered, due to HIP functionality backward compatibility.
• HIP API hipPointerGetAttributes could return invalid value in case the input memory pointer was not allocated through any HIP API on device or host.

Upcoming changes in ROCm 6.0 release

• Removal of gcnarch from hipDeviceProp_t structure
• Addition of new fields in hipDeviceProp_t structure
  • maxTexture1D
  • maxTexture2D
  • maxTexture1DLayered
  • maxTexture2DLayered
  • sharedMemPerMultiprocessor
  • deviceOverlap
  • asyncEngineCount
  • surfaceAlignment
  • unifiedAddressing
  • computePreemptionSupported
  • hostRegisterSupported
  • uuid
• Removal of deprecated code -hip-hcc codes from hip code tree
• Correct hipArray usage in HIP APIs such as hipMemcpyAtoH and hipMemcpyHtoA
• HIPMEMCPY_3D fields correction to avoid truncation of "size_t" to "unsigned int" inside hipMemcpy3D()
• Renaming of 'memoryType' in hipPointerAttribute_t structure to 'type'
• Correct hipGetLastError to return the last error instead of last API call's return code
• Update hipExternalSemaphoreHandleDesc to add "unsigned int reserved[16]"
• Correct handling of flag values in hipIpcOpenMemHandle for hipIpcMemLazyEnablePeerAccess
• Remove hiparray* and make it opaque with hipArray_t

HIP 5.6.1 (For ROCm 5.6.1)

Fixed

• Enabled xnack+ check in HIP catch2 tests hang while tests execution
• Memory leak when code object files are loaded/unloaded via hipModuleLoad/hipModuleUnload APIs
• Fixed a crash happening while using hipGraphAddMemFreeNode

HIP 5.6 (For ROCm 5.6)

Optimizations

• Consolidation of hipamd, rocclr and OpenCL projects in clr
• Optimized lock for graph global capture mode

Added

• Added hipRTC support for amd_hip_fp16
• Added hipStreamGetDevice implementation to get the device assocaited with the stream
• Added HIP_AD_FORMAT_SIGNED_INT16 in hipArray formats
• hipArrayGetInfo for getting information about the specified array
• hipArrayGetDescriptor for getting 1D or 2D array descriptor
• hipArray3DGetDescriptor to get 3D array descriptor

Changed

• hipMallocAsync to return success for zero size allocation to match hipMalloc
• Separation of hipcc perl binaries from HIP project to hipcc project. hip-devel package depends on newly added hipcc package
• Consolidation of hipamd, ROCclr, and OpenCL repositories into a single repository called clr. Instructions are updated to build HIP from sources in the HIP Installation guide
• Removed hipBusBandwidth and hipCommander samples from hip-tests

Fixed

• Fixed regression in hipMemCpyParam3D when offset is applied

Known Issues

• Limited testing on xnack+ configuration
  • Multiple HIP tests failures (gpuvm fault or hangs)
• hipSetDevice and hipSetDeviceFlags APIs return hipErrorInvalidDevice instead of hipErrorNoDevice, on a system without GPU
• Known memory leak when code object files are loaded/unloaded via hipModuleLoad/hipModuleUnload APIs. Issue will be fixed in future release

Upcoming changes in future release

• Removal of gcnarch from hipDeviceProp_t structure
• Addition of new fields in hipDeviceProp_t structure
  • maxTexture1D
  • maxTexture2D
  • maxTexture1DLayered
  • maxTexture2DLayered
  • sharedMemPerMultiprocessor
