this is what OpenCL is, afaik.
- kobeya 9y agoApples to oranges. The two APIs aren’t comparable, and being forced to use OpenCL is a hindrance itself. But unfortunately it has “Open” in the name so it must be better than that proprietary single vendor CUDA nonsense... /s
- bitL 9y ago...a very underwhelming one when it comes to Deep Learning
- ginko 9y agoWell mainly because Nvidia gimped their OpenCL drivers and there was no customer pushback.
- bitL 9y agoThat would still be fine if OpenCL was similarly-performing on Intel/AMD and a 1st class citizen of various Deep Learning frameworks. OpenCL is just an afterthought there sadly.
- pjmlp 9y agoOpenCL vendors never provided a competing tooling alternative to CUDA. Drivers are only part of the story. Even Google preferred to create their own Renderscript dialect than supporting OpenCL.
