- TomV1971 9y agoYes, but it means AMD will have to do the original work. They can’t use a CUDA to HIP converter.
- mastazi 9y agoWait, I thought that AMD's cuDNN replacement was hipDNN, now I'm confused https://github.com/ROCmSoftwarePlatform/hipDNN https://github.com/ROCmSoftwarePlatform/hipDNN Edit: OK I was reading the docs, I think I got it: hipDNN is a wrapper that (once finished) will search and replace calls (from cuDNN to hipDNN), then hipDNN itself, in turn, will call MIOpen, not sure if that's right, I would appreciate if someone who knows more could confirm
- nl 9y agoAMD is always working on random half-assed attempts to get to parity with NVidia for neural network training. If they'd chosen one approach 5 years ago and put decent resources behind it they might be competitive by now.
