Hier Hermes setup met Lemonade-server voorlopig op Ubuntu 24.04(zover geen compatibility issue meer, e.g MOSS)
4 Sterren omdat third-party frameworks(e.g ComfyUI) geschat nog een half jaartje of minder nodig hebben(2027) om vlekkeloos te werken*

Example bleeding edge & dependency lag:
- PyTorch2.14 @ROCm 7.14, bug ziet maar 16GB => Can not allocate/OOM verschijnselen op bepaalde workflows <20GB VRAM.

De tien jarige jubileum ROCm release AMD@ROCm10.0.0 (version bump 7.4->10.0) vertoont veel voorspoed op dergelijke punten*

Een VRAM knipoog naar de ATi Radeon 9700 Pro 128MB had leuk geweest, maar blijkbaar zijn de MI250+ Instinct kaarten nog hot in DC

Pluspunten

VRAM / LLM Toepassingen
Adviesprijs
RDNA4 / Pro driver features
Zeer progresieve software ontwikkelingen, met RDNA5 pas op zijn vroegst in 2028
Een soort van stil wanneer Idle : )
ROCm en CUDA kunnen prima naast elkaar op één host draaien (venv)
PS-PCIe Y Spliter inbegrepen
Alphacool E$ beschikbaar /!\ passive backplate

Minpunten

✦Nightly release ROCm ⇝Dependency lag*
Tensorflow optimalisatie

Eindoordeel

4 van 5 sterren (Goed)

**Seems I managed to order one through the shop now. Pity there doesn't seem to be any active backplate cooling so i sourced some heatsinks to slap on the back.
The in-out ports are pretty close together, so people will likely want to check their fittings. If i am reading the diagram correctly, fittings need to be 20mm diameter or under.

*ROCm10.0.0 (version bump 7.4->10.0)
Single Source Tree: All ROCm repositories (HIP, rocBLAS, MIOpen, rocFFT, rocRAND, Thrust, rocPRIM, etc.) unified into one consolidated codebase rather than 10+ separate Git repos with independent versioning schemes.

Unified Build System: Single automated pipeline that compiles all ROCm components together from the single source tree, eliminating cross-repo build conflicts and version mismatches.

Declarative Dependency Graph: TheRock knows the exact dependency chain—which components depend on which others—and automatically sequences builds to satisfy dependencies without manual intervention.

Multi-Platform Validation: Automated testing across Windows, Linux, Instinct accelerators, Radeon GPUs, and Ryzen integrated graphics in parallel—not sequentially.

Integrated CI/CD: Continuous integration where code changes to any component trigger immediate testing against all dependent layers and target platforms; failures block the pipeline before proceeding.

Staged Release Queue: Components move through the pipeline together—no component ships until the entire stack passes validation on all supported platforms and hardware families.

Regression Detection: Automated performance and correctness benchmarks catch regressions across all GPU families and OS platforms before release; includes microbenchmarks and end-to-end workload testing.

Framework Wheel Testing: PyTorch, TensorFlow, and other framework wheels are tested against the core libraries in the same validation cycle, not afterward; real-world model inference/training is validated pre-release.

Single Version Number: All ROCm components ship at the same version (10.0.0, etc.) because they've all been validated together—no mismatched library versions in the field.

Artifact Caching & Reuse: Build outputs from earlier stages are cached and reused in dependent stages, reducing total pipeline time and ensuring consistency across the entire build.

Automated Release Packaging: Once the full stack passes validation, TheRock automatically generates release packages, documentation, and checksums for all platforms simultaneously.
