-clr is Common Language Runtime contains C++ codes for the implementation of HIP runtime APIs on the AMD platform.
+clr contains C++ codes for the implementation of HIP runtime APIs on the AMD platform.
 Bug fixes and performance are both important goals in clr. Because of this, when a pull request is created, the owner of the repository will review, and put it in automated testing to make sure,
 * The change will build on various OS platforms (Ubuntu, RHEL, etc.)
 * The build package will install and run the code on different GPU architectures (MI-series, Radeon series cards, etc.),

 ## Project Organisation
 
 - `hipamd` - contains implementation of `HIP` language on AMD platform. It is hosted at [ROCm/clr/hipamd](https://github.com/ROCm/clr/tree/develop/hipamd)
 - `opencl` - contains implementation of [OpenCL™](https://www.khronos.org/opencl/) on AMD platform. Now it is hosted at [ROCm/clr/opencl](https://github.com/ROCm/clr/tree/develop/opencl)
-- `rocclr` - contains common runtime used in `HIP` and `OpenCL™`. This is hosted at [ROCm/clr/rocclr](https://github.com/ROCm/clr/tree/develop/rocclr)
