This is the sort of decision which scares away deep learning people: when the only hardware advantage is not supported at launch, it tells us that AMD really is not serious about good support and that the stack cannot be trusted.
- gcp 9y agoI regrettably agree there. I spent time doing OpenCL implementations of some of our stuff, but most recent decisions from AMD's side seem to indicate they'd rather get rid of it as well, in favor of some CUDA compatibility layers. This isn't very encouraging to continue supporting AMD cards. Might as well drop them entirely until their CUDA compatibility is more mature.
