Despite its name, the Robot
Operating System (ROS) is not an operating system; it is
a software development kit (SDK) that provides building blocks for
robotic applications. One of the main goals of ROS is to present a
common API that abstracts away the details of particular hardware
drivers or algorithms to make development easier; developers can focus
on what a robot should do rather than the low-level details of
specific controllers. The latest release of ROS, Kilted
Kaiju, features improvements to the middleware layer that is used
to deliver data between components.

After recently carrying out ROCm 7.0 benchmarks on AMD Ryzen AI Max+ “Strix Halo”, I ran some complementary tests looking at the OpenCL performance. In particular, the ROCm OpenCL performance compared to using the Mesa-based Rusticl OpenCL driver on Strix Halo. It was an interesting benchmark battle with some healthy competition.
