My opinion is that CUDA is not the mote keeping the others out - it's the CUDNN (and CUBLAS), more specifically the level to which they are optimized.

- roenxi 3y agoI'm not even certain optimisation matters. I can crash my machine (AMD graphics) with a stock Debian install by letting something attempt BLAS on the GPU. The situation is starting to improve though. Installed a bunch of libraries from https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/5.4 https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/5.4 jammy main and the crashes got less frequent. I don't have a lot of faith in AMD to deliver reliable BLAS libraries at this point, but it could happen. The hardware is there, I just don't think they're prioritising supporting the right places in the distribution chain or supporting consumer-level graphics.
- metal_am 3y agoHow about something like MAGMA?
- roenxi 3y agoNo idea. But if it goes through OpenCl it will likely expose the same bugs.
- Ballas 3y agoI do find it strange that AMD is not allocating more resources to ROCM, given that that seems to be where the money is, at least from my viewpoint. I guess they have been able to sell more cards than they could manufacture, but that seems to be changing.
