ROCm Gets Modular: Meet the Instinct Datacenter GPU Driver
- 11 April 2025
Today ROCm is synonymous with software for AMD’s Instinct GPUs. ROCm describes everything from the driver to the runtime to the libraries that enable AI and HPC software stacks. Starting in ROCm 6.4, we expand our software family to include the Instinct Datacenter GPU driver. The Instinct driver bifurcates from the current ROCm driver with a separate release process including an independent version number scheme, a new documentation site, and a laser focus on enabling applications on our datacenter GPU products. This change is depicted in the figure below.
