Isn't RoCm just AMD's version of "CUDA" (whatever that means at this point) ? IIRC, it was tied to HIP which was AMDs IR compiler from ptx.

- HarHarVeryFunny 3y agoAMD vs NVIDIA RoCm = CUDA+cuBLAS+cuRAND MiOpen = cuDNN HIP is an AMD portability abstraction layer over the NVIDIA APIs that is pass-thru to cuDNN/cuBLAS/cuRAND on NVIDIA hardware, and pass-thru to AMD's equivalent APIs (that are basically drop-in replacements for NVIDIA's) on AMD hardware.
- zokier 3y agoAMD doesn't have any equivalent of CUDA, i.e. something you can run on commodity GPUs. ROCm is only for specific "pro" devices.
- hackerlight 3y agoROCm officialy supports 7900 series retail cards and works fine on unsupported older AMD retail cards
- atq2119 3y agoI don't think this is a deliberate strategy but rather the result of focusing resources in where there are currently the largest margins, which is in the big server chips. It is somewhat short-sighted though, since having support on all their GPUs would surely do wonders for adoption via more organic channels.
