Refreshing that they use an OpenCL backend instead of CUDA. Would love for OpenCL to grow more to challenge CUDA’s dominance in scientific computing.

- pixelHD 8y agoTrue! The fact that you'd be able to use pretty much any GPU - even integrated/AMD/NVidia would really help. Speaking of which, doesn't the new Vulkan API include compute too?
- grovesNL 8y agoYes, Vulkan includes compute capabilities. For example, here is a relevant section about compute pipelines in the Vulkan specification: https://www.khronos.org/registry/vulkan/specs/1.0/html/vkspec.html#pipelines-compute https://www.khronos.org/registry/vulkan/specs/1.0/html/vkspe...
