JIRA ID: ALMIOPEN-2364

Motivation

ROCm 7.15 has been renamed to ROCm 10.0, and MIOpen 3.6.0 is the corresponding
release. projects/miopen/CHANGELOG.md needs a new version section documenting
what changed for downstream users, release-notes tooling, and packagers between
MIOpen 3.5.2 (ROCm 7.14.0) and MIOpen 3.6.0 (ROCm 10.0.0), consistent with the
changelog's existing per-release format.

Technical Details

• Inserted a new ## MIOpen 3.6.0 for ROCm 10.0.0 section at the top of
  projects/miopen/CHANGELOG.md, directly above the existing
  ## MIOpen 3.5.2 for ROCm 7.14.0 section, using the same ### Added /
  ### Changed / ### Resolved Issues / ### Removed subheading structure as
  every prior release section in the file.
• Entries were compiled by diffing origin/release/therock-10.0 against
  origin/release/therock-7.14 for projects/miopen and hand-selecting
  changelog-worthy commits, excluding: test-only commits, CI-only commits,
  build/version-bump commits, doc-only commits, reverted commit/revert pairs, and
  commits already surfaced in the 3.5.2/7.14.0 section via cherry-pick.
• Resulting entries added:
  • Added: gfx950 (MI350X/MI355X) 7x7 depthwise forward and backward-data
    convolution support, fp16/bf16 (feat(miopen): gfx950 7x7 depthwise fwd + backward-data conv (fp16/bf16) #9168) — fixes a slow fallback-to-naive-kernel
    regression in ConvNeXt-style depthwise convolutions.
  • Changed:
    • Restored gfx12x support in the Winograd Rage solver (feat(miopen): Add gfx120x support to Winograd Rage #6439), recovering
      performance lost when earlier gfx12 support was reverted.
    • Refreshed the gfx1100, gfx1102, and gfx1201 (Navi) SystemDBs (feat(miopen): refresh Navi system databases (gfx1100, gfx1102, and gfx1201) #9529) with
      updated tuned find/perf-database entries.
    • Refreshed the gfx950 SystemDB (feat(miopen): Refresh gfx950 SystemDB to cover more models #9111) with additional tuned entries.
  • Resolved Issues:
    • Fixed an off-by-stride indexing bug in BatchNorm backward CalcStats
      mean/variance remainder loop causing a ~1% systematic bias in NCHW
      batchnorm backward results (fix(miopen): batchnorm CalcStats remainder loop uses wrong thread stride #9031).
    • Fixed a tensor-op integer overflow on gfx1250 for large allocations that
      could cause memory access faults ([ROCM-27460] Fix integer overflow in tensor ops for large allocations on gfx1250 #9049).
    • Fixed naive convolution solvers silently failing to launch (and leaving a
      stale HIP error visible after Find returned success) when a global work
      size reached 2^32 or more work-items; such launches are now rejected up
      front (fix(miopen): reject unrepresentable global work size before launch #10188).
  • Removed: the OpenCL (OCL) backend (Remove OpenCL backend from MIOpen #8433); MIOpen now supports the HIP
    backend only.
• No code, build, or test files were touched — this is a pure documentation
  addition; the underlying functional changes were already merged to
  release/therock-10.0 in their own PRs (referenced above) and are only being
  documented here.

Risk Assessment

Single file (projects/miopen/CHANGELOG.md), 17 lines added, 0 removed, no code
or build-system changes.

Risk Level: 🟢 Low

Impacted Components

• projects/miopen/CHANGELOG.md only — no source, kernel, solver, build, or test
  files are touched.

Potential Side Effects

• None functionally. The only observable effect is the new changelog text itself;
  no build artifacts, APIs, or runtime behavior change.
• Cosmetic risk only: if any release-notes/packaging tooling parses this file
  programmatically, it should be checked for compatibility with the new section,
  though the added section strictly follows the existing heading/bullet
  conventions used by all prior sections in the file.

Mitigation Steps

• Followed the exact existing section format (## version header, ###
  category subheadings, * bullet entries, [Component] prefix tags) used by
  the adjacent 3.5.2/7.14.0 and 3.5.1/7.13.0 sections, minimizing formatting risk.
• Each entry was cross-referenced against a specific merged PR number
  (feat(miopen): gfx950 7x7 depthwise fwd + backward-data conv (fp16/bf16) #9168, feat(miopen): Add gfx120x support to Winograd Rage #6439, feat(miopen): refresh Navi system databases (gfx1100, gfx1102, and gfx1201) #9529, feat(miopen): Refresh gfx950 SystemDB to cover more models #9111, fix(miopen): batchnorm CalcStats remainder loop uses wrong thread stride #9031, [ROCM-27460] Fix integer overflow in tensor ops for large allocations on gfx1250 #9049, fix(miopen): reject unrepresentable global work size before launch #10188, Remove OpenCL backend from MIOpen #8433) rather than
  paraphrased from memory, so reviewers can verify each line against its source
  commit.

Test Plan

No functional tests apply — this is a documentation-only change to a Markdown
changelog file. Verification consisted of manually reviewing the diff against the
existing file's structure and confirming the new section's heading hierarchy and
bullet formatting match every other version section in CHANGELOG.md.

Test Result

• git diff origin/develop...HEAD --stat confirms the change is scoped to exactly
  one file (projects/miopen/CHANGELOG.md, +17/-0).
• Visual/manual review confirms the new ## MIOpen 3.6.0 for ROCm 10.0.0 section
  renders as valid Markdown consistent with surrounding sections. No build or CI
  run is applicable to a docs-only change.
