rocm is kind of a joke. Recently I wanted to write some golang code which talks to rocm devices using amd smi. You have to build and install the go amd smi from source, the go amd smi repo has dead links and there is basically no documentation anywhere on how to get this working.

Compare this to nvidia where I just imported the go nvml library and it built the cgo code and automatically links to nvidia-ml.so at runtime.
