From 1dc468401dfb09f1b56f6e1414a49973c7074507 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kent Russell Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2018 09:44:49 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Remove README.md file This documentation should be maintained in the ROCm documentation section of github. It's out-of-date and generally unnecessary in the kernel project itself.
