AMD ROCm 7.1.1 Released With RHEL 10.1 Support, More Models Working On RDNA4

Following the release of ROCm 7.1 from just under one month ago, ROCm 7.1.1 is now available with expanded Linux operating system support, continued Instinct MI350 series work, more large language models working on RDNA4 GPUs, and other enhancements.

ROCm 7.1.1 is now available as the newest point release for this open-source AMD GPU compute stack for Radeon and Instinct hardware. Some of the ROCm 7.1.1 release highlights include:

- Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.1 (RHEL 10.1) that was recently released along with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.7.

- Support for the AMD Instinct MI350X and Instinct MI355X hardware on Debian 13 is now working.

- Ubuntu 24.04 as a guest OS in KVM SR_IOV on AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs is now supported.

- Finer-grain resliency for Instinct MI355X with being able to reset the VCN/JPEG media engines without requiring a full video reset should Video Core Next (VCN) run into any issues.

- GEMM kernel selection efficiency has improved using Origami.

- Performance improvements in CK/AITER fused-attn mode.

- Support for Hugging Face Transformers, Microsoft Phi-4-multimodal-instruct, and Qwen QwW-32B are now working for RDNA4 GFX1201 GPUs.

- Google Gemma 3 27B meanwhile works for RDNA3 GFX1100 GPUs.

- Support for PyTorch 2.9.

Overall a pretty nice update for one month's worth of work and being a point release. ROCm 7.1.1 download details and more information are available from rocm.docs.amd.com.
