"CUDA is usually faster."
I wouldn't be surprised if this turned out not to be accidental. I mean, it wouldn't work against NVidia for OpenCL to continue to be seen as the "slower option". So I'm sure their efforts to improve their OpenCL implementation aren't considered as important from a business point of view.
- dharma1 11y agoTrue, though if you compare roughly equivalent Nvidia and AMD GPUs, my impression is that the CUDA implementation on Nvidia still outperforms OpenCL on AMD for deep learning. Is this right? AMD cards are a lot cheaper, would be good to be able to use them for deep learning too - https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/2zgpj8/15000_nvidia_developer_system/cpjjff5 https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/2zgpj8/15000_nvidia_... And new fast, low power FPGA's from Altera support OpenCL. https://www.altera.com/products/design-software/embedded-software-developers/opencl/overview.highResolutionDisplay.html https://www.altera.com/products/design-software/embedded-sof...
