# Migration Guide: pyrsmi 0.x to 1.0

This guide helps you migrate from pyrsmi 0.x (rocm-smi backend) to pyrsmi 1.0 (amdsmi backend).

---

## Overview

**pyrsmi 1.0** represents a major backend migration from the deprecated `rocm-smi-lib` to the modern `amdsmi` library. Despite this significant internal change, **the public API remains 100% backward compatible**.

### Key Changes

- ✅ Backend migrated from `librocm_smi64.so` to `libamd_smi.so`
- ✅ All functions maintain original signatures
- ✅ Performance improvements (10-50x faster UUID retrieval)
- ✅ Enhanced error handling and logging
- ✅ Richer PCIe and topology information

---

## Requirements

### Old Version (0.x)
- ROCm 5.x with `librocm_smi64.so`
- Python 3.9+

### New Version (1.0)
- **ROCm 6.0+ with `libamd_smi.so`**
- Python 3.9+

**Important:** ROCm 6.0 or later is **required** for pyrsmi 1.0.

---

## Installation

### Upgrade from PyPI

```bash
pip install --upgrade pyrsmi
```

### Upgrade from Source

```bash
cd pyrsmi
git pull
pip install -e .
```

---

## Breaking Changes

### ❗ None for Most Users

If you're using the standard API functions, **no code changes are required**. All function signatures remain the same.

### ⚠️ Potential Issues

#### 1. UUID Format Change

**Old behavior:**
- UUIDs were retrieved from external `rocminfo` command
- Format varied based on system configuration

**New behavior:**
- UUIDs come from `amdsmi_get_gpu_device_uuid()` API
- Standardized format: `xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx`

**Impact:**
- UUID strings may differ between versions
- Tools that store/compare UUIDs may need updates

**Example:**
```python
# Old version might return:
"GPU-123456789abcdef"

# New version returns:
"GPU-59ff75a0-0000-1000-80ad-85ff1153865a"
```

**Recommendation:** If you're storing UUIDs for device tracking, regenerate them after upgrading.

---

#### 2. Initialization is Mandatory

**Old behavior:**
- Some functions worked without calling `smi_initialize()`
- External commands (like `rocminfo`) worked independently

**New behavior:**
- **Must call `smi_initialize()` before any other functions**
- All functions require proper initialization

**Migration:**
```python
# Old code (may have worked)
from pyrsmi import rocml
count = rocml.smi_get_device_count()  # Might work without init

# New code (required)
from pyrsmi import rocml
rocml.smi_initialize()  # REQUIRED
count = rocml.smi_get_device_count()
rocml.smi_shutdown()    # RECOMMENDED
```

---

#### 3. Library Path

**Old behavior:**
- Searched for `librocm_smi64.so` in `/opt/rocm/lib64/`

**New behavior:**
- Searches for `libamd_smi.so` in `/opt/rocm/lib/` and `/opt/rocm/lib64/`

**Impact:**
- Standard ROCm 6.0+ installations work automatically
- Custom installations may need `ROCM_PATH` environment variable

**Migration:**
```bash
# If library not found automatically
export ROCM_PATH=/path/to/your/rocm
```

---

## Function-by-Function Changes

### ✅ No Changes Required

These functions work **exactly** as before:

```python
# Device Information
smi_get_device_count()
smi_get_device_name(dev)
smi_get_device_id(dev)
smi_get_device_revision(dev)
smi_get_device_unique_id(dev)

# Memory
smi_get_device_memory_total(dev, type='VRAM')
smi_get_device_memory_used(dev, type='VRAM')
smi_get_device_memory_busy(dev)

# Utilization and Power
smi_get_device_utilization(dev)
smi_get_device_average_power(dev)

# PCIe and Topology
smi_get_device_pci_id(dev)
smi_get_device_topo_numa_affinity(dev)
smi_get_device_link_type(src, dst)
smi_is_device_p2p_accessible(src, dst)

# And all other functions...
```

### 📝 Minor Behavior Changes

#### `smi_get_device_uuid(dev, format='roc')`

**Change:** UUID string format is now standardized

**Old:**
```python
uuid = smi_get_device_uuid(0)
# Returns: "GPU-<varied format>"
```

**New:**
```python
uuid = smi_get_device_uuid(0)
# Returns: "GPU-59ff75a0-0000-1000-80ad-85ff1153865a"
```

**Migration:** If you're comparing/storing UUIDs, update your database/cache.

---

#### `smi_get_device_pcie_bandwidth(dev)`

**Change:** Returns richer `amdsmi_pcie_info_t` structure

**Old:**
```python
bandwidth = smi_get_device_pcie_bandwidth(dev)
# Returns: simple bandwidth structure
```

**New:**
```python
pcie_info = smi_get_device_pcie_bandwidth(dev)
# Returns: complete structure with static and metric data

# Access new information:
print(f"Max PCIe Width: {pcie_info.pcie_static.max_pcie_width}")
print(f"Current Speed: {pcie_info.pcie_metric.pcie_speed} MT/s")
print(f"Bandwidth: {pcie_info.pcie_metric.pcie_bandwidth} Mb/s")
```

**Migration:** Update code to access nested structure fields.

---

#### Fan Functions

**Change:** More explicit error handling for unsupported hardware

**Behavior:**
- `smi_get_device_fan_rpms()`, `smi_get_device_fan_speed()`, `smi_get_device_fan_speed_max()`
- Return **-1** if not supported (e.g., liquid-cooled GPUs)

**Old:**
```python
rpm = smi_get_device_fan_rpms(0)
# May return 0 or undefined behavior
```

**New:**
```python
rpm = smi_get_device_fan_rpms(0)
if rpm == -1:
    print("Fan monitoring not supported on this hardware")
else:
    print(f"Fan RPM: {rpm}")
```

**Migration:** Add explicit error checking for fan functions.

## Performance Improvements

### UUID Retrieval

| Operation | Old (v0.x) | New (v1.0) | Improvement |
|-----------|------------|------------|-------------|
| UUID retrieval | 50-100ms | 1-5ms | **10-50x faster** |
| Method | `subprocess.run('rocminfo')` | Native `amdsmi_get_gpu_device_uuid()` | Direct API |

### Memory Queries

| Operation | Old (v0.x) | New (v1.0) | Notes |
|-----------|------------|------------|-------|
| Memory usage | ~1ms | ~1ms | Similar performance |
| Memory total | ~1ms | ~1ms | Similar performance |

### Initialization

| Operation | Old (v0.x) | New (v1.0) | Notes |
|-----------|------------|------------|-------|
| Library init | ~1ms | ~10ms | One-time overhead for handle discovery |

**Overall:** Most functions have similar or better performance. UUID retrieval shows dramatic improvement.

## Testing Your Migration

### Step 1: Verify Installation

```python
from pyrsmi import rocml

try:
    rocml.smi_initialize()
    count = rocml.smi_get_device_count()
    print(f"✓ pyrsmi 1.0 working: Found {count} GPU(s)")
    rocml.smi_shutdown()
except Exception as e:
    print(f"✗ Error: {e}")
```

### Step 2: Test Core Functions

```python
from pyrsmi import rocml

rocml.smi_initialize()

# Test device enumeration
for i in range(rocml.smi_get_device_count()):
    name = rocml.smi_get_device_name(i)
    memory = rocml.smi_get_device_memory_total(i)
    util = rocml.smi_get_device_utilization(i)
    
    print(f"GPU {i}: {name}")
    print(f"  Memory: {memory / (1024**3):.1f} GB")
    print(f"  Utilization: {util}%")

rocml.smi_shutdown()
```

### Step 3: Test UUID (if used)

```python
from pyrsmi import rocml

rocml.smi_initialize()

for i in range(rocml.smi_get_device_count()):
    uuid_roc = rocml.smi_get_device_uuid(i, format='roc')
    uuid_raw = rocml.smi_get_device_uuid(i, format='raw')
    
    print(f"GPU {i}:")
    print(f"  UUID (ROCm): {uuid_roc}")
    print(f"  UUID (Raw):  {uuid_raw}")

rocml.smi_shutdown()
```

---

## Troubleshooting

### Error: Library not found

**Symptom:**
```
Error: Could not find libamd_smi.so
```

**Solution:**
1. Verify ROCm 6.0+ is installed: `rocminfo --version`
2. Check library exists: `ls /opt/rocm/lib/libamd_smi.so`
3. Set `ROCM_PATH` if needed: `export ROCM_PATH=/opt/rocm`

---

### Error: Must initialize before calling

**Symptom:**
```
Error: Processor handles not initialized
```

**Solution:**
Always call `smi_initialize()` first:
```python
rocml.smi_initialize()  # REQUIRED
# ... your code ...
rocml.smi_shutdown()
```

---

### UUID mismatch after upgrade

**Symptom:**
UUIDs don't match previously stored values

**Solution:**
This is expected. UUIDs now come from `amdsmi` API with standardized format. Options:
1. Regenerate UUID database with new values
2. Use BDF-based unique ID (`smi_get_device_unique_id()`) which is more stable

---

### Fan functions return -1

**Symptom:**
```python
rpm = smi_get_device_fan_rpms(0)
# rpm = -1
```

**Solution:**
This is expected for liquid-cooled GPUs (MI300X, MI350X, etc.). These GPUs don't expose fan control. Check return value:
```python
rpm = smi_get_device_fan_rpms(0)
if rpm == -1:
    # Fan not supported on this hardware
    pass
```

---

## Rollback Plan

If you encounter issues with 1.0, you can temporarily rollback:

```bash
# Install specific old version
pip install pyrsmi==0.2.0  # or your previous version

# Or from source
git checkout v0.2.0  # or your previous version
pip install -e .
```

**Note:** pyrsmi 0.x requires ROCm 5.x. You cannot use 0.x with ROCm 6.0+.

---

## Getting Help

### Reporting Issues

If you encounter problems after migration:

1. **Check requirements:** ROCm 6.0+ installed?
