Plug-and-Play CuPy on ROCm: Data Analytics Acceleration Made Simple
- 14 November 2025
AMD is committed to ensuring that CuPy works seamlessly on AMD Instinct GPUs through ROCm and has worked to support the latest features in upstream CuPy on ROCm. In this blog, you will learn about the enhancements in the current and upcoming AMD CuPy releases that will supercharge your analytics and data science projects. In an earlier blog on CuPy and hipDF, it was demonstrated that CuPy and hipDF can be applied to complex analytics tasks with large datasets on ROCm using AMD GPUs. That blog used a PyPI wheel forked from earlier versions of CuPy and cuDF, and both CuPy and ROCm have advanced since then. In the latest AMD CuPy release, you will find many exciting improvements from the upstream CuPy library as well as ROCm 7.
