Back in March AMD introduced ROCDXG to improve their Windows Subsystem for Linux support. This improved Windows Subsystem for Linux "WSL" support with the ROCm compute stack is a cleaneer architecture, open-source compared to their legacy WSL code having closed bits, and more robust handling. Today they issued a new ROCDXG library release to further enhance their WSL support.

The librocdxg 1.22.1 that released a short time ago, they now ship the amdsmi binary with the release to enhance the system management experience under WSL. There is also now dedicated WSL AMD64 Ubuntu packages to enhance the setup experience of the AMD GPU compute stack under Ubuntu on Windows 11 WSL.

AMD engineers also updated the Python packaging of AMDSMI for handling of the WSL wrapper path, refactored the ROCDXG runtime ownership, improved WSL memory and VRAM behavior, configurable device ID support is now available via a configuration file, GFX11.5.3 graphics are now supported, and a variety of other improvements to this ROCm library for WSL.
