    It’s only a matter of time. Just like physx and any other Nvidia gimmick, AMD will catch up and offer it for a fraction of the price.

    Paywalled.
    What is this about anyway ?

    Edit : Wow ! Great answers and nice project. Always good to see competition against Nvidia.

      I was able to read without subscription or paywall. This is about AMD writing software that is open source and competes directly with Nvidia’s CUDA software framework.

      weird, it isn’t for me. it is about AMDs equivalent of nVidias CUDA. AMD is trying to catch up in the area that they have unfortunately neglected for a very long time and in which nVidia has an (almost) unassailable lead. That means making things like machine learning / AI on their GPUs possible, or more easily and on more cards (especially more consumer cards) available.

    I had to abandon a project recently because AMDs shitty software would refuse to install opencl for one of their integrated graphics chips.

    Every time I’ve tried to use their subpar hardware it’s been met by exponentially more shitty subpar software. If I were in any business making decisions with real money I’d avoid AMD like a plague

      I have a MacBook in my closet I can’t use at all because of an Nvidia integrated GPU. I’ve had nothing but problems with their shitty software too. Never had a single problem since I switched to AMD, and it was wayyyy cheaper. Your issue sounds like PEBCAK to me.

      You know opencl AMD installations have problems if you have previously installed Nvidia software? So it sounds like your experience with AMD may have been soured by NVIDIA actually, and then you went out and gave them more money.
