Changelog for rocFFT

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

rocFFT 1.0.32 (unreleased)

Changed

  • Building with the address sanitizer option sets xnack+ on relevant GPU architectures and adds address-sanitizer support to runtime-compiled kernels.

Removed

  • Removed ahead-of-time compiled kernels for the gfx906, gfx940, and gfx941 architectures. These architectures still function the same, but kernels for them are now compiled at runtime.
  • Removed consumer GPU architectures from the precompiled kernel cache that ships with rocFFT. rocFFT continues to ship with a cache of precompiled RTC kernels for data-center and workstation architectures. As before, user-level caches can be enabled by setting the environment variable ROCFFT_RTC_CACHE_PATH to a writeable file location.

Optimized

  • Improved MPI transform performance by using all-to-all communication for global transpose operations.
    Point-to-point communications are still used when all-to-all is not possible.
  • Improved the performance of unit-strided, complex interleaved, forward and inverse, length (64,64,64) FFTs.

Resolved issues

  • Fixed incorrect results from 2-kernel 3D FFT plans that used non-default output strides. For more information, see the rocFFT GitHub issue.
  • Plan descriptions can be reused with different strides for different plans. For more information, see the rocFFT GitHub issue.
  • Fixed client packages to depend on hipRAND instead of rocRAND.
  • Fixed potential integer overflows during large MPI transforms.

rocFFT 1.0.31 for ROCm 6.3.0

Added

  • rocfft-test now includes a --smoketest option.

  • Support for the gfx1151, gfx1200, and gfx1201 architectures.

  • Implemented experimental APIs to allow computing FFTs on data distributed across multiple MPI ranks. These APIs can be enabled with the ROCFFT_MPI_ENABLE CMake option. This option defaults to OFF.

    When ROCFFT_MPI_ENABLE is set to ON:

    • rocfft_plan_description_set_comm can be called to provide an MPI communicator to a plan description, which can then be passed to rocfft_plan_create. Each rank calls rocfft_field_add_brick to specify the layout of data bricks on that rank.

    • An MPI library with ROCm acceleration enabled is required at build time and at runtime.

Changed

  • Compilation uses amdclang++ instead of hipcc.
  • CLI11 replaces Boost Program Options as the command line parser for clients and samples.

rocFFT 1.0.30 for ROCm 6.2.4

Optimizations

  • Implemented 1D kernels for factorizable sizes > 1024 and < 2048.

Fixes

  • Fixed plan creation failure on some even-length real-complex transforms that use Bluestein's algorithm.

Additions

  • GFX1151 Support

rocFFT 1.0.29 for ROCm 6.2.1

Optimizations

  • Implemented 1D kernels for factorizable sizes < 1024

rocFFT 1.0.28 for ROCm 6.2.0

Optimizations

  • Implemented multi-device transform for 3D pencil decomposition. Contiguous dimensions on input and output bricks are transformed locally, with global transposes to make remaining dimensions contiguous.

Changes

  • Add option in dyna-bench to load the libs in forward and then reverse order for benchmark tests.
  • Randomly generated accuracy tests are now disabled by default; these can be enabled using the --nrand option (which defaults to 0).
  • Use Bonferroni multi-hypothesis testing framework by default for benchmark tests.

rocFFT 1.0.27 for ROCm 6.1.1

Fixes

  • Fixed kernel launch failure on execute of very large odd-length real-complex transforms.

Additions

  • Enable multi-gpu testing on systems without direct GPU-interconnects

rocFFT 1.0.26 for ROCm 6.1.0

Changes

  • Multi-device FFTs now allow batch greater than 1
  • Multi-device, real-complex FFTs are now supported
  • rocFFT now statically links libstdc++ when only std::experimental::filesystem is available (to guard against ABI incompatibilities with newer libstdc++ libraries that include std::filesystem)

rocFFT 1.0.25 for ROCm 6.0.0

Additions

  • Implemented experimental APIs to allow computing FFTs on data distributed across multiple devices in a single process

    • rocfft_field is a new type that can be added to a plan description to describe the layout of FFT input or output
    • rocfft_field_add_brick can be called to describe the brick decomposition of an FFT field, where each brick can be assigned a different device

    These interfaces are still experimental and subject to change. We are interested in getting feedback. You can raise questions and concerns by opening issues in the rocFFT issue tracker.

    Note that multi-device FFTs currently have several limitations (we plan to address these in future releases):

    • Real-complex (forward or inverse) FFTs are not supported
    • Planar format fields are not supported
    • Batch (the number_of_transforms provided to rocfft_plan_create) must be 1
    • FFT input is gathered to the current device at run time, so all FFT data must fit on that device

Optimizations

  • Improved the performance of several 2D/3D real FFTs supported by 2D_SINGLE kernel. Offline tuning provides more optimization for fx90a
  • Removed an extra kernel launch from even-length, real-complex FFTs that use callbacks

Changes

  • Built kernels in a solution map to the library kernel cache

  • Real forward transforms (real-to-complex) no longer overwrite input; rocFFT may still overwrite real inverse (complex-to-real) input, as this allows for faster performance

  • rocfft-rider and dyna-rocfft-rider have been renamed to rocfft-bench and dyna-rocfft-bench; these are controlled by the BUILD_CLIENTS_BENCH CMake option

    • Links for the former file names are installed, and the former BUILD_CLIENTS_RIDER CMake option is accepted for compatibility, but both will be removed in a future release
  • Binaries in debug builds no longer have a -d suffix

Fixes

  • rocFFT now correctly handles load callbacks that convert data from a smaller data type (e.g., 16-bit integers -> 32-bit float)

rocFFT 1.0.24 for ROCm 5.7.0

Optimizations

  • Improved the performance of complex forward/inverse 1D FFTs (2049 <= length <= 131071) that use Bluestein's algorithm

Additions

  • Implemented a solution map version converter and finished the first conversion from ver.0 to ver.1
    • Version 1 removes some incorrect kernels (sbrc/sbcr using half_lds)

Changes

  • Moved rocfft_rtc_helper executable to the lib/rocFFT directory on Linux
  • Moved library kernel cache to the lib/rocFFT directory

rocFFT 1.0.23 for ROCm 5.6.0

Additions

  • Implemented half-precision transforms; these can be requested by passing rocfft_precision_half to rocfft_plan_create
  • Implemented a hierarchical solution map that saves information on how to decompose a problem and the kernels that are used
  • Implemented a first version of offline-tuner to support tuning kernels for C2C and Z2Z problems

Changes

  • Replaced std::complex with hipComplex data types for the data generator
  • FFT plan dimensions are now sorted to be row-major internally where possible, which produces better plans if the dimensions were accidentally specified in a different order (column-major, for example)
  • Added the --precision argument to benchmark and test clients (--double is still accepted but is deprecated as a method to request a double-precision transform)
  • Improved performance test suite statistical framework

Fixes

  • Fixed over-allocation of LDS in some real-complex kernels, which was resulting in kernel launch failure

rocFFT 1.0.22 for ROCm 5.5.0

Optimizations

  • Improved the performance of 1D lengths < 2048 that use Bluestein's algorithm

  • Fixed incorrect freeing of HIP stream handles during twiddle computation when multiple devices are present

rocFFT 1.0.21 for ROCm 5.4.3

Fixes

  • Removed the source directory from rocm_install_targets to prevent the installation of rocfft.h in an unintended location

rocFFT 1.0.20 for ROCm 5.4.1

Fixes

  • Fixed incorrect results on strided large 1D FFTs where batch size does not equal the stride

rocFFT 1.0.19 for ROCm 5.4.0

Optimizations

  • Optimized some strided large 1D plans

Additions

  • Added the rocfft_plan_description_set_scale_factor API to efficiently multiply each output element of an FFT by a given scaling factor
  • Created a rocfft_kernel_cache.db file next to the installed library; SBCC, CR, and RC kernels are moved to this file when built with the library, and are runtime-compiled for new GPU architectures
  • Added gfx1100 and gfx1102 to default AMDGPU_TARGETS

Changes

  • Moved the runtime compilation cache to in-memory by default
    • A default on-disk cache can encounter contention problems on multi-node clusters with a shared filesystem
    • rocFFT can still use an on-disk cache by setting the ROCFFT_RTC_CACHE_PATH environment variable

rocFFT 1.0.18 for ROCm 5.3.0

Changes

  • The runtime compilation cache now looks for environment variables XDG_CACHE_HOME (on Linux) and LOCALAPPDATA (on Windows) before falling back to HOME

  • Optimized length-280 2D and 3D transforms
  • Added kernels for factorizable 1D lengths < 128

Fixes

  • Fixed occasional failures to parallelize runtime compilation of kernels (failures would be retried serially and ultimately succeed, but this would take extra time)
  • Fixed failures of some R2C 3D transforms that use the unsupported TILE_UNALGNED SBRC kernels (an example is 98^3 R2C out-of-place)
  • Fixed bugs in the SBRC_ERC type

rocFFT 1.0.17 for ROCm 5.2.0

Additions

  • Packages for test and benchmark executables on all supported operating systems using CPack
  • Added file and folder reorganization changes, with backward compatibility support, using rocm-cmake wrapper functions

rocFFT 1.0.15 for ROCm 5.0.0

Changes

  • Enabled runtime compilation of single FFT kernels > length 1024
  • Re-aligned the split device library into four roughly equal libraries
  • Implemented the FuseShim framework to replace the original OptimizePlan
  • Implemented the generic buffer-assignment framework
    • The buffer assignment is no longer performed by each node--we designed a generic algorithm to test and pick the best assignment path
    • With the help of FuseShim, we can achieve the most kernel-fusions possible

Additions

  • Added support for Windows 10 as a build target

Changes

  • Packaging has been split into a runtime package (rocfft) and a development package (rocfft-devel): The development package depends on the runtime package. When installing the runtime package, the package manager will suggest the installation of the development package to aid users transitioning from the previous version's combined package. This suggestion by package manager is for all supported operating systems (except CentOS 7) to aid in the transition. The suggestion feature in the runtime package is introduced as a deprecated feature and will be removed in a future ROCm release.

Fixes

  • Fixed validation failures for even-length R2C inplace 2D and 3D cubics sizes, such as 100^2 (or ^3), 200^2 (or ^3), and 256^2 (or ^3)
    • We combine two kernels (r2c-transpose) instead of combining the three kernels (stockham-r2c-transpose)

Changes

  • Split 2D device code into separate libraries

  • Optimized scheme selection for 3D problems
    • Imposed fewer restrictions on 3D_BLOCK_RC selection (more problems can use 3D_BLOCK_RC and have performance gains)
    • Enabled 3D_RC; some 3D problems with SBCC-supported z-dim can use fewer kernels to get benefits
    • Forced --length 336 336 56 (dp) to use faster 3D_RC to prevent it from being skipped by a conservative threshold test
  • Optimized some even-length R2C/C2R cases by doing more in-place operations and combining pre- and post-processing into Stockham kernels
