Getting started with AMD (ROCM Kernel)
=====================================================

Last updated: 07/06/2025.

Author: `Yusheng Su <https://yushengsu-thu.github.io/>`_

Setup
-----

If you run on AMD GPUs (MI300) with ROCM platform, you cannot use the previous quickstart to run verl. You should follow the following steps to build a docker and set ``RAY_EXPERIMENTAL_NOSET_ROCR_VISIBLE_DEVICES`` or ``RAY_EXPERIMENTAL_NOSET_HIP_VISIBLE_DEVICES`` when starting ray in verl's RLHF training.

Run the container
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Optional: Running without root and with user permissions
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. code-block:: bash

    docker run --rm -it \

(Optional): If you do not want to root mode and require assign yourself as the user
Please add ``-e HOST_UID=$(id -u)`` and ``-e HOST_GID=$(id -g)`` into the above docker launch script. 

Example
-------

Due to to special setting in AMD (ROCM) torch, 
1. If your ``ray>=2.45.0`` (default), you need to set ``RAY_EXPERIMENTAL_NOSET_HIP_VISIBLE_DEVICES`` when starting ray in verl's RLHF training and add this [patch](https://github.com/ray-project/ray/pull/53531/files).
2. If your ``ray<2.45.0``, you need to set ``RAY_EXPERIMENTAL_NOSET_ROCR_VISIBLE_DEVICES`` when starting ray in verl's RLHF training.
Inference ``$ENGINE`` can be ``vllm`` or ``sglang``. We choose ``vllm`` as default in the following examples.

Multi-node training: slurm with Docker/Podman container
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you want to run multi-node training with slurm, you can use the following script. 

.. note::
    1. You need to use ``podman`` or ``docker`` in the following script. We will release the apptainer script later.
    2. If you want to use ``podman``, you just replace ``docker`` with ``podman`` in the following script.

The script includes the following steps:

1. SLURM Configuration
2. Environment Setup
3. Docker/Podman Container Setup
4. Ray Cluster Initialization
5. Data Preprocessing
6. Model Setup
7. Training Launch
