This is the best summary I could come up with:

While the albeit unofficial desktop GPU support has continued to improve for the ROCm compute stack, one of the areas that sadly hasn’t received much attention at all has been for the integrated Radeon graphics on their APUs/SoCs.

It’s rare to see any code activity or mentioned improvements around ROCm / GPU compute on the AMD desktop/laptop APUs even though their popularity has increased greatly with the competitiveness of recent generations of Ryzen SoCs.

Making its way into Linux 6.10 Git is an improvement to the AMDKFD “AMD Kernel Fusion Driver” for GPU compute around these small APUs.

AMD engineer Lang Yu summed up the change as: "Small APUs(i.e., consumer, embedded products) usually have a small carveout device memory which can’t satisfy most compute workloads memory allocation requirements.

Thus acknowledging the existing issue of even basic PyTorch examples not being able to run with the compute stack on “small” Ryzen SoCs with Radeon graphics.

This change was merged to Linux 6.10 Git as part of the DRM fixes submitted on Friday.
