AMD

This is the best summary I could come up with:

AMD is hiring engineers to work on build and packaging of their "AMD Unified Linux Driver" to enhance the experience of deploying their packaged graphics driver stack -- including ROCm -- across different Linux distributions.

AMD is hiring multiple engineers to work on build/packaging for their Linux graphics software stack.

This job posting sums up that given role as: "AMD is looking for a specialized software engineer to join our Linux Build, Packaging and Install team.

You will be a member of the core team of incredibly talented and highly motivated industry specialists and will work with the very latest graphics and compute hardware and software technology."

There are other similar job postings as well all about Linux build and packaging of their graphics driver software.

Here's to hoping that the additional hires and any other "AMD Unified Linux Driver" changes make for an easier to deploy AMD Linux graphics driver experience across distributions, especially leading-edge distributions and other non-enterprise environments, for lowering the barrier of deploying ROCm compute support.

The original article contains 467 words, the summary contains 170 words. Saved 64%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

One way of greatly improving ROCm installation process would be to use the Open Build Service which allows to use the single spec file to produce packages for many supported GNU/Linux distributions and versions of them. I opened a feature request about this.

I wish I was knowledgeable enough to do this.
