,→AMD Software Overview
AMD's original software stack, called AMDGPU-pro, provides OpenCL 1.2 and 2.0 capabilities on Linux and Windows. However, most of AMD's efforts today is on an experimental framework called ROCm. ROCm is AMD's open source compiler and device driver stack intended for general purpose compute. ROCm supports two languages: HIP (a CUDA-like C++ interface also based on LLVM/clang), and OpenCL 2.0. ROCm only works on Linux machines supporting modern hardware, such as PCIe 3.0 and relatively recent GPUs (such as the Rx 580, and Vega GPUs).
AMD regularly publishes the assembly language details of their architectures. Their "GCN Assembly" changes slightly from generation to generation, but the fundamental principles have remained the same.
