The point of AI is that it is not a rote translation & 1:1 mapping.
- jsheard 11mo ago> Take the ROCm specification, take your CUDA codebase, let one of the agentic AIs translate it all into ROCm ...sounds like asking for a 1:1 mapping to me. If you meant asking the AI to transmute the code from NV-optimal to AMD-optimal as it goes along, you could certainly try doing that, but the idea is nothing more than AI fanfic until someone shows it actually working.
- measurablefunc 11mo agoNow that I have clarified the point about AI optimizing the code from CUDA to fit AMD's runtime what is your contention about the possibility of such a translation?
- bigyabai 11mo agoThere is an old programmer's joke about writing abstractions and expecting zero-cost.
- measurablefunc 11mo agoHow does that apply in this case? The whole point is that the agentic AI/AGI skips all the abstractions & writes optimized low-level code for each GPU vendor from a high-level specification. There are no abstractions other than whatever specifications GPU vendors provide for their hardware which are fed into the agentic AI/AGI to do the necessary work of creating low-level & optimized code for specific tasks.
