ROCm is finally getting better due to a few well meaning engineers.
But let’s be honest, AMD has been an extremely bad citizen to non-corporate users.
For my iGPU I have to fake GFX900 and build things from source or staging packages to get that working. Support for GFX90c is finally in the pipeline…
The improvements feel like a bodyguard finally letting you through the door just because NVIDIA is eating their lunch and they don’t want their club to be empty.
They strongarm their customers to using “Enterprise” GPUs to be able to play with ROCm, and are only broadening their offerings for market share purposes.
Really shouldn’t reward this behavior.
Yup, meanwhile Jensen is on the Lexfriedman podcast stating the reason why CUDA is successful is because all thier devices run it. The on ramp is at the individual user.
I have and RDNA4 card and they certainly are prioritizing CDNA over a CDNA + RDNA strategy or a unification strategy.
The problem is the split CDNA/RDNA architecture. A problem they are adressing with their upcoming unified UDMA.
