Comment on ROCm Is AMD’s No. 1 Priority, Exec Says

• poVoq@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  ROCm is a software that AMD developed and which is universally acknowledged to be quite buggy and far behind it’s equivalent by Nvidia called CUDA. My comment had nothing to do with AMD’s hardware or marketshare.

  Everyone, including AMD, would be better off if Intel and AMD were working together on an open and cross-vendor standard to counter Nvidia’s CUDA.

    What an eloquent argument in response.

      we are not arguing, you are just going on and on about amd market share when no one was talking about that. what are you on about?

        The number of devices in use out in the world is a direct correlation to how useful a project like ROCm or CUDA is/could be. More devices means devs are more likely to utilize a specific language or library for a specific use. ROCm is open source and attempting to gain more ground simply by expanding to more devices which are already out there. My response to OP is just illustrating that fact.

        Example: Nvidia got an early foothold in the AI/ML game in the datacenter because they were first to platform traction with the CUDA toolkit and inference libraries. It’s horrible to use, but is useful. AMD is now trying to catch up to that by deploying alternative hardware and software that covers most of the same use-case, plus they now have APU and FPGA devices that Nvidia does not. That’s the tldr.
