The amd module is completely implemented through the included EasyConfig file and hence covered by the GNU General Public License version 3.0 under which the LUMI-EasyBuild-contrib repository is licensed. See the LICENSE file in that repository.
User documentation
The amd/5.6.1 module is provided by the LUMI User Support Team to enable users
who need a more recent version of ROCm that the official HPE Cray module. As
this is not a vendor-supplied module, it might not work as expected all the
time.
To use this module, use the following commands:
After loading these two modules, the Cray compiler wrapper (cc, CC and
ftn) will use amdclang, amdclang++ and amdflang from ROCm 5.6.1 as the
backend compilers.
To compile HIP code, you can use hipcc or CC with the -xhip compilation
flag. Note that in the latter case, in order to have the HIP runtime library
automatically linked, you need to load the corresponding rocm module.
We do not provide a similar module for rocm/5.4.6. Instead, it is sufficient to
load the rocm/5.4.6 module after loading the PrgEnv-amd module (or cpeAMD in
the LUMI stacks). The necessary environment variables for the compiler wrappers
are already defined in the rocm/5.4.6 module.
Pre-installed modules (and EasyConfigs)
To access module help and find out for which stacks and partitions the module is
installed, use module spider amd/<version>.

The EasyConfig is used to create a pkgconfig file and a module to mimic the
official HPE Cray amd compiler module.
