Similar to Julia's --check-bounds flag, this flag (used like @roc boundscheck=false ...) allows the user to entirely disable boundschecking within their code.

Testing on MI250x, @roc boundscheck=false seems not to work.

Testing following kernel:

function diff2D_step!(T2, T, Ci, lam, dt, _dx, _dy)
    ix = (workgroupIdx().x - 1) * workgroupDim().x + workitemIdx().x
    iy = (workgroupIdx().y - 1) * workgroupDim().y + workitemIdx().y
    if (ix>1 && ix<size(T2,1) && iy>1 && iy<size(T2,2))
        @inbounds T2[ix,iy] = T[ix,iy] + dt*(Ci[ix,iy]*(
                              - ((-lam*(T[ix+1,iy] - T[ix,iy])*_dx) - (-lam*(T[ix,iy] - T[ix-1,iy])*_dx))*_dx
                              - ((-lam*(T[ix,iy+1] - T[ix,iy])*_dy) - (-lam*(T[ix,iy] - T[ix,iy-1])*_dy))*_dy ))
    end
    return
end
  • using @inbounds: T_tot diff2D = 1182.223 GB/s
  • disabling @inbounds: T_tot diff2D = 635.3999 GB/s
  • disabling @inbounds but setting @roc boundscheck=false: T_tot diff2D = 635.7766 GB/s

Here is a reproducer https://gist.github.com/luraess/5e697f857a7aa4d1d00e99ca02cbbb3d (@jpsamaroo)
