SYCL is a terrible option. The performance of any application on SYCL is currently quite poor. Why drop ROCm (used on the world's largest supercomputer?) for an even more unproven product that AMD has no control over the roadmap? >

HIP is an API equivalent to CUDA. The kernel code is identical. The host code is the same API with a change from the CUDA to HIP namespace. This seems to be an extremely minimal form of 'porting'.

I'm against gatekeeping. Visualize success. Be who you want to be. The sooner I called myself a scientist in life, the better.

It's a fair question. Nvidia's NCCL and AMD's RCCL provide parallelism constructs that really are hidden at the framework level (such as PyT). However, I don't think that you would want to hide model, data, or tensor par

It's not just apple. Nvidia, AMD, and several other companies haven't announced layoffs. My opinion is that all the above have strong CEOs who aren't reactive.

^ this is correct. As owners, they can provide cover for management to put more discretionary funding into combating this threat. I think Sundar has yet to prove himself as a great CEO, but this is good leadership.

My opinion is that McCarthy is the greatest living novelist. Blood meridian is one of the greatest works of English literature, and rival's Moby Dick as an epic. His works are worth your attention.

SYCL also nominally tries to support AMD GPUs. In my experience, the runtime is poorly optimized and performance is low.
