To build:
ENABLE_ROCM=1 TORCHCODEC_BUILD_HEIC=0 pip install -e . --no-build-isolation
To run tests:
python3 -m pytest test/test_decoders.py -m needs_rocm -v

Add ROCm device interface using rocDecode for hardware-accelerated video decoding on AMD GPUs. Includes: - RocmDeviceInterface for ROCm GPU decoding - RocDecCache for decoder management - RPP integration for color conversion - Basic ROCm example - Packaging script for CI Direct linking approach following rocJPEG pattern from PR meta-pytorch#1554. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Add decoder_core_rocm_sources to sources.bzl - Add ENABLE_ROCM handling to CMakeLists.txt - Find and link hip, rpp, and rocdecode libraries - Add rocdecode include directories - Define USE_ROCM compile flag Follows the same pattern as CUDA build configuration. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

The ENABLE_ROCM environment variable was not being passed to CMake because it wasn't listed in the pyproject.toml cmake.define section. This caused ROCm builds to be skipped even when ENABLE_ROCM=1 was set. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

This is a work-in-progress commit. The ROCm implementation still needs to be updated to match the new DeviceInterface API in main branch. Stable ABI fixes applied: - Remove <torch/types.h> includes, use stable ABI headers instead - Replace torch::Device/Tensor with StableDevice/torch::stable::Tensor - Replace TORCH_CHECK with STD_TORCH_CHECK - Replace torch::kCUDA/kCPU/kUInt8 with c10::/kStable* equivalents - Use torch::stable::empty/zero_ for tensor creation - Convert some camelCase function names to snake_case - Add StableABICompat.h includes to ROCm headers - Add ENABLE_ROCM to pyproject.toml cmake.define section Still TODO: - Update RocmDeviceInterface to match new DeviceInterface API - Fix method signatures (initialize, convert_av_frame_to_frame_output, etc.) - Update to use snake_case method names throughout Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Update ROCm video decoding support to work with PyTorch's stable ABI, fixing compatibility issues introduced when main branch moved to stable API. Key changes: - Replace unstable API types (torch::Tensor, torch::Device) with stable equivalents (torch::stable::Tensor, StableDevice) - Update tensor method calls for stable ABI: * tensor.stride(0) -> tensor.strides()[0] * tensor.data_ptr() -> tensor.mutable_data_ptr<T>() - Replace TORCH_CHECK with STD_TORCH_CHECK - Update DeviceInterface method signatures to match new API: * Split initialize() into initialize() + initialize_video_decoding() * Rename methods to snake_case (sendPacket -> send_packet, etc.) * Change convert_av_frame_to_frame_output to take const AVFrame& - Fix function naming: getDeviceIndex -> get_device_index (match CUDA) Critical fix for GPU pointer handling: - Avoid av_frame_ref/av_frame_clone on GPU memory addresses (causes segfault) - Pass rocDecode GPU pointers directly to RPP without copying - Use HIP stream synchronization to prevent race conditions - Zero-copy design: rocDecode -> RPP -> RGB output, all on GPU Tested on AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT (gfx1100) with ROCm 10.1.0.

Test Infrastructure: - Add needs_rocm marker and skip logic to conftest.py - Add rocm_devices() and rocm_version_used_for_building_torch() to utils.py - Fix assert_frames_equal() to handle ROCm (where cuda_version returns None) - Import H265_10BITS test asset ROCm Tests Added (45 functions, ~220 parametrized cases): - Interface tests: get_frame_at, get_frames_at, get_frame/frames_played_at, backwards - CPU fallback tests and status checks - Color range tests (full/studio, BT709) - Codec support: H.265 10-bit, H.264 10-bit, AV1, VP9 - Error handling tests (_fails variants) - High-level API: getitem, iteration, get_frames_in_range - Advanced features: dimension_order, custom_frame_mappings, compile - Utility tests: get_key_frame_indices, device handling Fixes: - Use ffmpeg_major_version > 5 (imported from torchcodec, matching NVDEC) - Allow atol=3 tolerance for GPU vs CPU color conversion differences - Update test_rocm_interface_error regex to match stable ABI error format Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Fix test_rocm_get_frame_at_av1: use ffmpeg_major_version instead of get_ffmpeg_major_version() - Skip test_rocm_h265_10bit_hardware_support on FFmpeg 6+: known color conversion differences Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Added review comments

The rocDecode package names have changed: - rocdecode -> amdrocm-decode - rocdecode-devel -> amdrocm-decode-devel Updated install script to use the new package names.

- Install amdrocm-rpp and amdrocm-rpp-devel packages - Follow same pattern as install_rocdecode.sh with fallback for build-only images - Required for ROCm video processing pipeline

…support test for Ffmpeg version higher than 4.

…_10bit_hevc TorchCodec/ROCm integration: Enabled test_rocm_h265_10bit_hardware_support test for Ffmpeg version higher than 4.
