Changelog for hipRAND

Documentation for hipRAND is available at https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/hipRAND/en/latest/.

hipRAND 3.4.0 for ROCm 7.14

Added

• gfx1250 support

Since last release ROCm 7.12

Added

• hiprand.dll now contains embedded file version metadata.

hipRAND 3.2.0 for ROCm 7.12

Added

• gfx1150,gfx1152 and gfx1153 support
• Added a new cmake option, ROCRAND_FETCH_METHOD, which allows you to specify how you would like to fetch rocRAND.

  • It may be set to one of the following:

    • PACKAGE - (default) searches for a preinstalled packaged version of the dependency. If it is not found, the build will fall back using option DOWNLOAD, below.
    • DOWNLOAD - downloads the dependency from the rocm-libraries repository. If git >= 2.25 is present, this option uses a sparse checkout that avoids downloading more than it needs to. If not, the whole monorepo is downloaded (this may take some time).
    • MONOREPO - this options is intended to be used if you are building hipCUB from within a copy of the rocm-libraries repository that you have cloned (and therefore already contains rocRAND). When selected, the build will try find the dependency in the local repository tree. If it cannot be found, the build will attempt to use git to perform a sparse-checkout of rocRAND. If that also fails, it will fall back to using the DOWNLOAD option described above.

  • The existing DEPENDENCIES_FORCE_DOWNLOAD CMake option has been renamed EXTERNAL_DEPS_FORCE_DOWNLOAD and no longer affects rocRAND.

hipRAND 3.1.0 for ROCm 7.1

Resolved issues

• Updated error handling for several hipRAND unit tests to accomodate the new hipGetLastError behaviour that was introduced in ROCm 7.0. As of ROCm 7.0, the internal error state is cleared on each call to hipGetLastError rather than on every HIP API call.

hipRAND 3.0.0 for ROCm 7.0

Added

• gfx950 support

Changed

• Deprecated hipRAND's Fortran API in favor of hipfort.

Removed

• Removed C++14 support, only C++17 is supported.

hipRAND 2.12.0 for ROCm 6.4.0

Changed

• When building hipRAND on Windows, use HIP_PATH (instead of the former HIP_DIR) to specify the path to the HIP SDK installation.
  • When building with the rmake.py script, if HIP_PATH is not set, it will default to C:\hip.

Resolved issues

• Fixed an issue that was causing hipRAND build failures on Windows when the HIP SDK was installed to a location with a path that contains spaces.

hipRAND-2.11.1 for ROCm 6.2.4

Added

• GFX1151 Support

hipRAND 2.11.0 for ROCm 6.2.0

Added

• Added support for setting generator output ordering in C and C++ API
• hiprandCreateGeneratorHost dispatches to the host generator in the rocRAND backend instead of returning with HIPRAND_STATUS_NOT_IMPLEMENTED
• Added the option to create a host generator to the Fortran wrapper
• Added the option to create a host generator to the Python wrapper

Changed

• Updated the default value for the -a argument from rmake.py to gfx906:xnack-,gfx1030,gfx1100,gfx1101,gfx1102,gfx1151,gfx1200,gfx1201.
• For internal testing with HMM the environment variable ROCRAND_USE_HMM was used in previous versions, it is now changed to HIPRAND_USE_HMM.
• The device API documentation is improved in this version.
• Static library: moved all internal symbols to namespaces to avoid potential symbol name collisions when linking.

Removed

• Removed the option to build hipRAND as a submodule to rocRAND
• Removed references to, and workarounds for, the deprecated hcc
• Support for finding rocRAND based on the environment variable ROCRAND_DIR has been removed ROCRAND_PATH can be used instead.

Resolved issues

• Fixed an issue in rmake.py where the list storing cmake options would contain individual characters instead of a full string of options.
• Build error when using Clang++ directly due to unsupported references to amdgpu-target
