> as far as I can tell it is because they implemented a bunch of BLAS functions on the GPU rocBLAS and other vendor agnostic numeric libraries have made a lot

  If progress means going from nothing however long ago to hardlocking my system today then progress achieved. But for me rocBLAS has not yet reached the lofty peaks of multiplying matricies together. In fairness, my graphics card isn't supported - multiplying matricies being one of those advanced features that they only implemented in the last couple of years. Older graphics cards maybe don't have the grunt for that.</sarcasm> I love AMD, the linux graphics drivers are great. But their GPGPU platform is not good.

    I’ve only used it on MI200 series cards but both direct API in C and through a cupy interface for matrix mul and triangular solves it’s worked well for me. There was a bit of bugginess for running on non-default streams a few months back, but seems fixed now. Now AMDs platform for debugging and profiling GPGPUs apps on the other hand is a different story/mess and very very behind NVIDIAs solutions. For sure the lack of consumer card support is annoying, all effort seems focused on satisfying their contracts and not expanding support into the much wider GPGPU market rn and I wish it wasn’t. It feels like an afterthought at times. I just wanna be able to compile and play around with HIP on my home computer, but :(
