The author suggests that an alternative ROCm binary release for “unofficially” supported GPUs could help resolve the device support mess. By providing this release with a disclaimer, AMD could address the issue of limited bandwidth for testing thoroughly. The author highlights the community’s contributions in making ROCm run on various GPUs through patches and workarounds. Notably, the RDNA1 and RDNA2 GPUs are among those “unofficially” supported. The author also emphasizes the importance of comprehensive documentation for enabling community support. Finally, the author criticizes AMD’s current approach, suggesting that Intel and Nvidia are ahead in catering to users and developers.
