# Introduction to ROCm

ROCm, otherwise known as Radeon Open Compute, is an open source GPU Compute Framework that enables developers to customize their GPU software while collaborating with other developers. It consists of a variety of drivers, development tools, and API's that enables GPU programming from the low-level kernel to end-user applications. ROCm can be deployed in many ways, including through the use of containers such as Docker, Spack, and your own build from source.
