Support for AMD CPUs/OpenCL

Open RAMChYLD opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

Any chance of supporting AMD GPUs via OpenCL? Or will this remain CUDA-specific?

Why do 80% of the AI projects out there have a problem with vendor lock-in?

Can't run CUDA on AMD GPUs.

I have an imac and it's not possible to do deep learning training on it (easily and simply). Have to go cloud or I ended up running a HP workstation z6 - ubuntu / (second hand from ebay) and dropped in a new gpu 3090 and use remote desktop. You would be able to use this only on a 16gb of VRAM IF you could get this working on opencl. Fighting against the tide is possible but easier to go with the flow. Seems like there's a rant here about monopoly of Intel + Nvidia here - https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/488
