FYI, AMD's people are helping TF to add OpenCL support. https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/22 https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/22

  Contributions from AMD are sorely lacking. It's mostly people from https://www.codeplay.com/ https://www.codeplay.com/ and https://github.com/hughperkins/ https://github.com/hughperkins/

    I noticed Hugh Perkins has a AMD badge under "Organizations". Is he not working for AMD? Also one of the earlier participants of the TF OpenCL support conversations https://github.com/gujunli https://github.com/gujunli was working for AMD at the time[1]. https://electrek.co/2016/02/26/tesla-machine-learning-expert-autopilot/ https://electrek.co/2016/02/26/tesla-machine-learning-expert...

      No, Hugh works at asapp.com. AMD could really invest more in optimising deep learning libraries for their hardware if they want to be relevant

        Interesting! He's definitely got some interesting background there. Normally someone wouldn't be added into a Github organization without an employment relationship there. > AMD could really invest more in optimising deep learning libraries for their hardware if they want to be relevant I am optimistic about AMD's involvement in AI. Just do a search of recent news on here, tons of exciting devleopment from AMD, especially Radeon Instinct. And here is an interesting comment about the comparison between Nvidia and AMD[1].
