AMD’s ROCm 7.0 update brings HIP 7.0 closer to CUDA, simplifying GPU programming for AI & HPC. Learn about breaking changes, early preview builds, and how to prepare for the 2025 release.
AMD’s upcoming ROCm 7.0 update promises groundbreaking compatibility with NVIDIA CUDA, simplifying cross-platform GPU development.
Engineers revealed key details in a recent blog post, highlighting HIP 7.0’s closer alignment with CUDA C++—a strategic move to attract developers working in AI, machine learning, and high-performance computing (HPC).
Key Changes in HIP 7.0 & ROCm 7.0
Tighter CUDA Compatibility: Reduces manual adjustments when porting CUDA code to HIP.
Breaking API Changes: Requires software rebuilds but improves long-term maintainability.
Enhanced Error Handling & Header Structures: Streamlines GPU code portability.
Early Prototype Available: Developers can test HIP 7.0 via a ROCm 6.4-based preview build.
*“With HIP 7.0, we’re taking a bold step toward simplifying cross-platform programming by aligning HIP C++ even more closely with CUDA.”* — AMD Engineers
