Why doesn't AMD make a similar framework than CUDA? Is this so much of a task? But if that increases their market share that should be financially viable, no?

- 4fterd4rk 7mo agoThey do. It's called ROCm. It works, it's open source, but CUDA is so entrenched it's like a Windows vs. Linux kind of thing.
- PrivateButts 7mo agoROCm is their CUDA-like and imo it's been a buggy mess, and I'm talking bugs that make your entire system lock up until you hard reboot. Same with their media encoders. Vulkan compute is starting to recieve support by stuff like llama.cpp and ollama and I've had way better luck with that on non-nvidia hardware. Probably for the best that we have a single cross-vendor standard for this.
- yencabulator 7mo ago> bugs that make your entire system lock up until you hard reboot That has historically been the experience with Nvidia GPUs on Linux also.
- hipster001 7mo agoThey even make two! rocm and hip. And intel has one…api.
