ROCm is a total mess, and is Linux only.
OneAPI is in a rather good state considering it’s barely a release candidate now I’ll put my money on Blender support Intel GPUs sooner than AMD ones with Cycles X unless AMD will adopt OneAPI.
- jsheard 6y agoROCm doesn't even run on every AMD card, it only supports a subset of their architectures skewed towards the HPC market The current and previous generations of consumer AMD cards just don't work with ROCm and there's been no indication they ever will
- sudosysgen 6y agoOneAPI/SYCL also works on AMD if the card supports ROCM.
- dogma1138 6y ago“Works” and actually works are different things. ROCm isn’t in a state that i would define actually working atm, considering just how broken their CUDA to HIP stuff is I’m not going to hold my breath.
- sudosysgen 6y agoSYCL can be targeted directly to HIP without going through Cuda first, but I agree that it's far from perfect. IMO though, it's as useable as OpenCL by now.
