Some people in the FOSS community don’t like proprietary vendor lock in and things like Intel MKL.
Standardise the features you add, work with AMD and I’m sure you’ll get more support.
- BooneJS 6y agoIt also makes building high-performance open source software challenging. Intel or AMD? If Intel, is the MKL library installed? The support matrix grows a bit out of hand.
- the_pwner224 6y agoThis is especially important with vector instructions. I had to install Tensorflow 2 years ago and there were four packages available in the repositories: - nVidia GPU with CUDA - CPU with SSEv2 (or whatever the second version of vector was called) optimizations - CPU with SSE optimizations - CPU without vector optimizations
- btian 6y agoYou mean AVX2? SSE was from the 90s
