We ported CAFFE from CUDA to HIP – and here’s what happened…
- jbmorgado 9y agoWell, I was hoping for some quantitative benchmarks, the only conclusion from this posts is that HIP conversion tool is supposed to work 99.6% of times according to AMD.
- cwyers 9y agoYeah. > When running on CUDA, the ported HIP application uses a compilation, runtime, and library flow that is very similar to the original CUDA application. Thus, we would expect the HIP/CUDA application to deliver very similar performance as the original CUDA/CUDA app. You'd expect? I don't know if I'd trust benchmarks AMD put out on this subject, but I'd trust them more than not even bothering to benchmark.
- m-j-fox 9y agoAnd like, why? To save power? Money? Performance? Maybe run some benchmarks and compute the bottom line.
- pmalynin 9y agoClickbait happened; But it seems like they were able to increase portability at no loss of performance (and even it looks like a performance increase in some cases if I read correctly), among other things -- which is always commendable.
