Making distribution package for ROCm acceleration

Open doichanj opened this issue 3 months ago • 0 comments

What is the expected behavior?

Aer supports accelerating quantum computing simulations by using GPUs, but there is only distribution package for NVIDIA's GPUs is available and ROCm (https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm) support for AMD's GPUs should be built from source codes. It will be helpful for users if there will be a distribution package for ROCm.

To add distribution package, it will be built when a new release of Aer will be tagged on github:

  • Edit https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-aer/blob/main/.github/workflows/deploy.yml to add ROCm build
  • Edit https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-aer/blob/main/.github/workflows/build.yml as same as above to test building
  • Edit other config or source codes so that ROCm build will be successfully built on github
