Support for Windows

[MoonRide303]

Please add native support for Windows. I was recently evaluating which new GPU with more VRAM I could buy, but lack of support for Windows basically makes AMD cards unusable for me.

I want to be able PyTorch 2.0 with GPU acceleration on Windows, natively - and GPUs that doesn't allow me to do so are simply no-go:

According to tom's hardware and videocardz, ROCm 5.6.0 Alpha document (internal) shows will support Windows for RDNA2 cards, stay tuned, it seems not far away from now.

ROCm 5.5.0 does not guarantee the inclusion of Windows support. Stay tuned.

I know that..i just hoped from many speculation that the release after 5.4.3 will have windows release. Manny commits to docs said that. So now I am disappointed. They removed windows docs from develop branch for no reason and explanation. I am disappointed right now

Imo they should drop all planned features and rush windows support out the door.

From the README

ROCm’s goal is to allow our users to maximize their GPU hardware investment

ROCm 5.6.0 does not have Windows support.

[evshiron]

Thanks for the notice. It seems like ROCm 5.6.0 is available in https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/5.6/ now.

[radudiaconu0]

Yep and we waited like fools

Will there be miopen support for windows in 6.0.1?

So, it seems they support windows with 5.7. Still no ML libraries, I think...

The page was not updated but 6.1 it is supported

[ppanchad-amd]

Support available. Please check latest ROCm 6.1.1

Please check latest ROCm 6.1.1 https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-windows/en/latest/

links is to 5.7.1

[ppanchad-amd]

@johnnynunez Sorry about the confusion. Current HIP SDK version available for windows is 5.7.1

It doesn't look like "support available" to me (at least according to pytorch.org):

Use ROCm in WSL if you have a compatible GPU:

• https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/radeon/en/latest/docs/compatibility/wsl/wsl_compatibility.html

I have been using it for two months and it works (imo better than in Linux), with some tricks.

WSL is a workaround, not a native Windows support.

Alright. In my opinion, choosing to support WSL is a smart decision. It (almost) perfectly integrates with the existing ROCm ecosystem on Linux and can already support many professional workflows. I'm quite satisfied with my two-month experience.
