AMD really dropped the ball on this. Nobody even thinks of them or Intel for training or experimenting

- washadjeffmad 4y agoIt's easy to be dazzled by recent culminations of almost two decades of dominance in scientific computing, but don't forget how broad the field of vision and neural computing is. I've been working with oneAPI and OpenVINO and using the new extensions for pytorch and tensorflow on an Arc GPU lately, and it's kind of amazing how fast things are moving.
- irusensei 4y agoWon't disagree they've slept on this but I'm pretty sure now that gpu compute has reached enthusiast hands people do think of AMD and whatever intel may bring to the table. Who knows? AMD tends to arrive late but with more available tech like FSR, Mantle, upstream kernel drivers etc.
- vkaku 4y agoWell, they are bad at advertising HIP support like the way NVIDIA does. But I'm on a 6900XT and I can run Pytorch nightly easy with it. No regrets. pip3 install --pre torch torchvision torchaudio --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/rocm5.3 https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/rocm5.3 Kudos to Torch for achieving what Tensorflow did not want to do officially.
- dunno7456 4y agoWorth mentioning that rocm packages are already available in debian testing. apt install rocm-smi rocm-cmake rocminfo rocm-device-libs I don't work with ML & co, so YMMV.
