Are there any signs that machine learning libraries and other GPGPU applications will start using the cross platform OpenCL instead of the proprietary Cuda anytime soon? It's a bit of a shame that so many allow themselves to be locked to one vendor, although it's been a while since I used either of them.
- TheGuyWhoCodes 10y agoThere are recent developments but nothing really significant. AMD did say they were working on CUDA compatibility.
- xiphias 10y agoAMD should just do it for TensorFlow. They would get a lot of benefit if they could show higher performance per dollar at least on Linux, and it would take just a small team to implement it.
- Symmetry 10y agoHopefully they'll catch up when everyone is using Vulkan and SPIR-V?
- mhermher 10y agoI read somewhere about some sort of cuda or opencl transpiler, but not sure of the details.
