Why? It’s really a shit api, hard to program for and hard to make efficient. I think AMDs problem is that they didn’t make their own tooling pipeline (and then hopefully make an open standard out of it). Instead they stuck with a crappy open standard with poor tooling because, well, it was the standard.
- dave_sullivan 9y agoI should be more specific: Their strategy around getting people to use their cards for GPGPU is a missed opportunity, their OpenCL strategy being a component of that.
- kobeya 9y agoAh, agreed.
