This seems like the kind of thing that AMD should be providing (or at least sponsoring) as a matter of principle — regardless of whether it can be funded in other ways I.e. if anyone in AMD cared this problem would be solved trivially. The fact that you are funding it out of pocket is seriously calling into question AMD’s commitment. What am I missing here?
- neilv 3y agoI think Debian is one of the first places AMD should be looking to fund for ROCm. Especially if there's already motivated capable volunteer labor, and all they need is equipment, and maybe a devrel point of contact. The cost seems like a few peanuts dug out of the sofa cushions, on a strategic push like this.
