AMDGPU.jl

AMD GPU (ROCm) programming in Julia

Requirements

• Julia 1.10+.
• ROCm 5.3+, which means only GPUs that are supported by these versions will work.
• 64-bit Linux and Windows are supported, see requirements section in the docs.

For Julia 1.11 set JULIA_LLVM_ARGS="-opaque-pointers" to enable opaque pointers and use system-wide device libraries, instead of patched from artifacts.

Quick start

AMDGPU.jl can be installed with the Julia package manager. From the Julia REPL, type ] to enter the Pkg REPL mode and run:

pkg> add AMDGPU

Or, equivalently, via the Pkg API:

julia> import Pkg; Pkg.add("AMDGPU")

Testing

To ensure that everything is working you can run tests for the package with

pkg> test AMDGPU

Or specifying a subset of tests to run:

julia> using Pkg

julia> Pkg.test("AMDGPU"; test_args=["core", "kernelabstractions"])

Full list of tests to run can be obtained with --list argument:

julia> Pkg.test("AMDGPU"; test_args=["--list"])

Questions and Contributions

Usage questions can be posted on the Julia Discourse forum under the GPU domain and/or in the #gpu channel of the Julia Slack.

Contributions are very welcome, as are feature requests and suggestions. Please open an issue if you encounter any problems.
