Linux 6.10 Improves AMD ROCm Compute Support For "Small" Ryzen APUs
Sneaking in as a 'fix' for the Linux 6.10 kernel is an enhancement to the AMDKFD kernel compute driver used by the ROCm compute stack for better supporting small Ryzen APUs like client and embedded SoCs.
While the albeit unofficial desktop GPU support has continued to improve for the ROCm compute stack, one of the areas that sadly hasn't received much attention at all has been for the integrated Radeon graphics on their APUs/SoCs. It's rare to see any code activity or mentioned improvements around ROCm / GPU compute on the AMD desktop/laptop APUs even though their popularity has increased greatly with the competitiveness of recent generations of Ryzen SoCs. Thus acknowledging the existing issue of even basic PyTorch examples not being able to run with the compute stack on "small" Ryzen SoCs with Radeon graphics.
