Who’s writing bare CUDA though? For most tasks a framework like Tensorflow or PyTorch is good enough.
If AMD could provide a backend for the most popular frameworks then they could skip over the CUDA patent issue completely.
The real problem is that it seems like AMD’s not investing substantially in software teams to make it happen.

- deepGem 6y agoIn the deep learning world every major framework works on top of Cudnn which works on top of CUDA Pytorch, Tensorflow you name it. https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/10657 https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/10657 That is the state of Pytorch support for AMD GPUs.
