We are excited to announce a new open-source release of our GIM SR-IOV Driver.
This release adds VF FLR improvement on Navi32 as well as MI300 multi Vf on top of the regular update and bug fixes.

Hardware / Features Supported for this Release

Partition Mode Support

For the full list of supported partition modes and the relationship between partition mode and number of VFs per GPU, see the GPU Partitioning.

Host AMD SMI Versions

• Library: 33.1.3
• Tool: 27.8.0

Since the last release, the library and tool will be automatically installed when installing the gim-dkms package—manual build step is no longer required.
If you manually copied AMD SMI tool/library to /usr, you may need to reset the ldconfig cache and/or remove the AMD SMI files under /usr.
