We are excited to announce a new open-source release of our GIM SR-IOV Driver. Along with regular bug fixes and improvements, this release provides support for ROCm 7.14,
- MI350/MI355 multiVF - enabled and optimized multi-VF partition modes including NPS2/DPX and NPS2/CPX configurations,
- expanded AMD-SMI host telemetry with UBB power data, thermal metrics per partition for MI35x, and violation status reporting,
- added AMD-SMI support for listing and monitoring Pensando and Broadcom NIC devices, and
- added AMD-SMI support for Go bindings.

Getting Started
Please check out our User Guide for instructions on how to set up GIM and example configurations to run SR-IOV enabled VMs.
Known Issues
- MI300X/MI350X: In configurations with 8 VFs per GPU, VF FLR may intermittently fail with "SMU FW not responding" or "SMU Timeout" errors on the host. This condition can result in a WGR on all GPUs. If the issue occurs, all active VMs must be restarted to restore normal operation.
