ROCm
AMD's system for running AI maths on its graphics cards.
The fuller definition
ROCm is AMD's software stack for GPU computing, used by supported AI frameworks and hardware configurations.
- Framework
AI workload
- ROCm stack
Supported libraries and runtime
- AMD GPU
Compatible computation
A simplified relationship, not a screenshot or a complete design.
A concrete example
An inference framework uses a supported ROCm build with a compatible AMD GPU.
The distinction that matters
Check the exact operating system, GPU, and software compatibility; an AMD logo alone does not establish support.
