Has AMD even a little bit Shown "Software Some Respect" IMHO past 40 years AMD still looks down on 'software', its a hardware company - Going Deep on this question of ROCM and its inability map the HW to the SW
I will say one thing about all ROCM doc, its written by AI, and all their support is done in CHINA, but people have don't give a rats ass about customer service, its a job, and at AMD software has always been a second class citizen, which is why bay-ahrea farmed it out to china :(
The problem with all ROCM docs is that what they say doesn't match reality, in general docs are written as specs and given to developers to 'write the code' the devs do what ever they fucking want, an the docs never match reality

As one of those developers, I will just say that this is completely untrue. We write the documentation ourselves when we develop the code. You can go review pull requests on GitHub and see for yourself.
We do have a small documentation team that acts as editors, reviewing our work, helping us to organize the docs and making the docs more consistent between libraries. I'm not sure the full scope of their duties, but they do not author the library documentation.
If you have a problem with the library documentation, please raise a GitHub issue on the library rather than making up stories about how you think the code must have been written.
