TheRock

TheRock (The HIP Environment and ROCm Kit) is the open source build and release system for HIP and ROCm, and the top-level entry point that integrates ROCm's components into a single buildable, testable, and releasable product. Since ROCm 7.14, ROCm is built and released through TheRock, which replaces the previous monolithic release process with a modular workflow that makes ROCm components easier to build, integrate, and distribute. It is designed for ROCm contributors as well as developers, researchers, and advanced users who need access to the latest ROCm capabilities without the complexity of traditional package-based installations. The project is under active development and welcomes contributors. Come try us out! Please see CONTRIBUTING.md for more info and the FAQ for frequently asked questions.

For general information about the ROCm software platform, see the ROCm documentation.

Features

TheRock includes:

• Nightly releases of ROCm and PyTorch
• A CMake super-project for HIP and ROCm source builds
• Support for building PyTorch and JAX with ROCm from source
• Operating system support including multiple Linux distributions and native Windows
• Tools for developing individual ROCm components
• Comprehensive CI/CD pipelines for building, testing, and releasing supported components

Building from source

[!WARNING] Disk Space and Build Time Requirements: Building from source requires approximately 200 GB of free disk space and can take multiple hours to compile. Builds will fail if you run out of space.

We keep the following instructions for recent, commonly used operating system versions. Most build failures are due to minor operating system differences in dependencies and project setup. Refer to the Environment Setup Guide for contributed instructions and configurations for alternatives.

[!TIP] While building from source offers the greatest flexibility, installing from releases in supported configurations is often faster and easier.
