It takes the form of an [https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/gpu/amdgpu/index.html in-tree] [[Loadable kernel module|kernel module]]. As of 2022, AMDgpu development at AMD is part of [[ROCm#ROCk_-_Kernel_driver|ROCm]], under the ROCk project.
AMDgpu has been fully upstreamed and new developments continue to do so. AMD Kernel Fusion Driver ('''KFD''') is now integrated in this one kernel module.<br>
As AMDgpu is part of the monolithic linux kernel, it is shipped by most Linux distributions directly.
The development of the kernel module happens first internally at AMD, and discussion with the Linux maintainers happen on the freedesktop
