This is something that I've wondered about. There is nothing about Tensorflow (for example) that is specific to CUDA. Why doesn't AMD dedicate a couple of engineers to port it? They don't even have to do a complete job. Only about half of the Tensorflow operations are used for most models.

If they make CUDA the industry standard by porting it to AMD, and then Nvidia is still able to control the standard, over the long term AMD will always be in the position of having to catch up.

  I think the GP is suggesting AMD port TensorFlow to OpenCL to break up the CUDA monopoly.

  No need, there is already an industry standard that works across all hardware.

AMD does. https://github.com/ROCmSoftwarePlatform/tensorflow https://github.com/ROCmSoftwarePlatform/tensorflow
