# AMD ROCm documentation

ROCm is an open-source software platform optimized to extract HPC and AI workload
performance from AMD Instinct GPUs and AMD Radeon GPUs while maintaining
compatibility with industry software frameworks. For more information, see
[What is ROCm?](./what-is-rocm.rst)

ROCm supports multiple programming languages and programming interfaces such as
{doc}`HIP (Heterogeneous-Compute Interface for Portability)<hip:index>`, OpenCL,
and OpenMP, as explained in the [Programming guide](./how-to/programming_guide.rst).

If you're using AMD Radeon GPUs or Ryzen APUs in a workstation setting with a display connected, review {doc}`ROCm on Radeon and Ryzen documentation<radeon:index>`.

ROCm documentation is organized into the following categories:
