I would love to see AMD jump in the ring, and there's even an OpenCL port of Caffe in progress: https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/pull/2610 https://github.com/BVLC/

But its performance is less than half that of a GTX 980 running CUDA. Still, AMD is silly not to try and improve on this IMO.
- dharma1 11y agoWonder what's causing the perf drop. Would make sense to Intel to push openCL for deep learning too
- varelse 11y agoBad compilers would be my guess. And not only would it make sense for Intel to push OpenCL for Deep Learning, but it would make sense (IMO of course) for them to push OpenCL as a much better abstraction for accessing the vector units in all their CPUs in a multicore fashion across the board.
