[Bug 2141514] Re: [needs-packaging] rocwmma - in ubuntu

[Talha Can Havadar]

Thank you very much for the comments and review Frank! I am considering
forwarding patch #3 but the #1 and #2 could be not relevant for upstream
since they use different compiler and way to build docs.

About the license for debian files, I followed the advice given here:
https://library.canonical.com/legal-processes/licensing-
policy#:~:text=places%2E-,Packaging so it is same as the software being
packaged.

I will be updating the description section for packages in d/control and
let you know afterwards

Title:
  [needs-packaging] rocwmma - in ubuntu

Status in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Aiming to package v7.1.0 of the upstream to have better compatibility
  with the ROCm stack (v7.1.0) in ubuntu resolute. From 7.2.0 onwards
  upstream moved to https://github.com/ROCm/rocm-libraries so thats why
  you see deprecation warning in the upstream repo but that is the
  source for v7.1.0

  The rocWMMA is a C++ library for accelerating mixed-precision matrix
  multiply-accumulate (MMA) operations leveraging AMD GPU hardware.
  rocWMMA makes it easier to break down MMA problems into fragments and
  distribute block-wise MMA operations in parallel across GPU
  wavefronts. The API consists of a header library, that can be used to
  compile MMA acceleration directly into GPU kernel device code. This
  can benefit from compiler optimization in the generation of kernel
  assembly, and doesn't incur additional overhead costs of linking to
  external runtime libraries or having to launch separate kernels.

  rocWMMA includes sample projects to validate and demonstrate API
  usage. These include simple GEMMs, performant GEMMs, DLRM, GEMV and
  hipRTC integration.
