Full documentation for RDC is available at ROCm DataCenter Tool User Guide.

RDC 1.3.1 for ROCm 7.14.0

Added

• Added 59 new telemetry fields to close the gap with Device Metrics Exporter (DME).

  • Energy: RDC_FI_GPU_ENERGY — total energy consumed via amdsmi_get_energy_count().
  • Temperature: RDC_FI_GPU_JUNCTION_TEMP — dedicated junction/hotspot temperature field.
  • Clock ranges: RDC_FI_GPU_CLOCK_MIN, RDC_FI_GPU_CLOCK_MAX — min/max GPU clock frequencies. Additional clock types: RDC_FI_SOC_CLOCK, RDC_FI_VCLK0, RDC_FI_DCLK0.
  • Memory: RDC_FI_GPU_MEMORY_FREE (free VRAM), visible VRAM (RDC_FI_GPU_VIS_VRAM_TOTAL/USED/FREE), GTT memory (RDC_FI_GPU_GTT_TOTAL/USED/FREE).
  • PCIe: RDC_FI_PCIE_SPEED, RDC_FI_PCIE_MAX_SPEED, RDC_FI_PCIE_REPLAY_ROLLOVER, RDC_FI_PCIE_BANDWIDTH_BIDIR with sentinel value handling for APU platforms.
  • Instantaneous activity: RDC_FI_GPU_GFX_BUSY_INST, RDC_FI_GPU_VCN_BUSY_INST, RDC_FI_GPU_JPEG_BUSY_INST from gpu_metrics.xcp_stats.
  • ECC deferred errors: 19 per-block deferred error fields (RDC_FI_ECC_*_DE) plus RDC_FI_ECC_DEFERRED_TOTAL, reading deferred_count from amdsmi_error_count_t.
  • Violation/throttle metrics: 19 new RDC_HEALTH_* fields covering accumulated counts and percentages for processor hot, PPT power, socket/VR/HBM thermal, gfx clock host limits, and low utilization violations via amdsmi_get_violation_status(). Driver 1.8 XCP/XCC fields return NOT_SUPPORTED on older platforms.

• Added automated DME-RDC metric sync check.

  • New script tools/dme_rdc_metric_sync_check.py parses DME's protobuf metric definitions and compares against RDC field enums via a curated mapping file (tools/dme_rdc_metric_mapping.json).
  • New GitHub Action (.github/workflows/rdc-dme-sync-check.yml) runs weekly and on PRs touching metric definitions. Automatically creates GitHub issues when DME adds metrics not yet tracked in RDC.

Changed

• Bumped gRPC from 1.67.1 to 1.78.1. See ROCm/TheRock#4172.

Removed

• Removed RVS integration. RVS is built independently of RDC and TheRock, so its integration has been disabled.
  • BUILD_RVS now defaults to OFF (#7116).

Resolved Issues

• The Failed to insert module: N3amd3rdc10RdcRVSLibE error no longer occurs.

RDC 1.3.0 for ROCm 7.13.0

Added

• Added GFX and memory accumulated activity metrics.
  • New fields RDC_FI_GFX_ACTIVITY_ACC (509), RDC_FI_MEM_ACTIVITY_ACC (510), and RDC_FI_ACCUMULATION_COUNTER (511) expose the accumulated GFX/memory activity counters and the accumulation cycle counter from amdsmi gpu_metrics. Use accumulation_counter as the normalization denominator to compute utilization: (activity_acc_n - activity_acc_n-1) / (accumulation_counter_n - accumulation_counter_n-1) * 100.

Resolved Issues

• Fixed broken partition metrics.
  • Regardless if GPU was partitioned, RDC only saw the GPU index and no instances due to upstream gpu_metrics changes

RDC 1.2.0 for ROCm 7.1.0

Added

• CPU monitoring support with 30+ CPU field definitions through AMD SMI integration.
• CPU partition format support (c0.0, c1.0) for monitoring AMD EPYC processors.
• Mixed GPU/CPU monitoring in single rdci dmon command.

Optimized

• Improved profiler metrics path detection for counter definitions.

Resolved issues

• Group management issues with listing created/non-created groups.
• ECC_UNCORRECT field behavior.

RDC for ROCm 7.0.0

Added

• More profiling and monitoring metrics, especially for AMD Instinct MI300 and newer GPUs.
• Advanced logging and debugging options, including new log levels and troubleshooting guidance.

Changed

• Completed migration from legacy ROCProfiler to ROCprofiler-SDK.
• Reorganized the configuration files internally and improved README/installation instructions.
• Updated metrics and monitoring support for the latest AMD data center GPUs.

Optimized

• Integration with ROCprofiler-SDK for performance metrics collection.
• Standalone and embedded operating modes, including streamlined authentication and configuration options.
• Support and documentation for diagnostic commands and GPU group management.
• RVS test integration and reporting.

RDC for ROCm 6.4.0

Added

• RDC policy feature
• Power and thermal throttling metrics
• RVS IET, PEBB, and memory bandwidth tests
• Link status
• RDC_FI_PROF_SM_ACTIVE metric

Changed

• Migrated from rocprofiler v1 to rocprofiler-sdk
• Improved README.md for better usability
• Moved rdc_options into share/rdc/conf/
• Fixed ABSL in clang18+

RDC for ROCm 6.3.0

Added

• RVS integration
• Real time logging for diagnostic command
• --version command
• XGMI_TOTAL_READ_KB and XGMI_TOTAL_WRITE_KB monitoring metrics

RDC for ROCm 6.2.0

• Added rocprofiler dmon metrics
• Added new ECC metrics
• Added ROCmValidationSuite diagnostic command
• Fully migrated to AMDSMI
  • Removed RASLIB dependency and blobs
  • Removed rocm_smi_lib dependency

RDC for ROCm 6.1.0

• Upgraded from C++11 to C++17
• Upgraded gRPC

RDC for ROCm 5.5.0

• Added new profiling metrics for RDC dmon module.
