Not with Rocm since I’ve moved my personal stack to NVIDIA (for rendering) and Macs for day to day use. I did write quite a bit of OpenCL prior to that on Intel/AMd/NVIDIA, both for training and for general rendering though, and did some work with Stream before then.

Was it OpenCL1? That's the only one I hadn't tried out for AMD GPUs. Everything else I have and can say with absolute certainty that you spend more time fighting the hardware than you did writing code. Cuda by comparison JustWorks^tm.

  Both 1 and 2. I haven’t done much with 3 as OpenCL is effectively a dead api at this point. 1 was definitely a lot easier to work with than 2. CUDA is easier than both but I don’t think I hit anything I could do in CUDA that I couldn’t do in OpenCL, though CUDA of course had a larger ecosystem of existing libraries.

    Damn, I missed the best one. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
