I find it eerly odd how amd seems to almost intetionally stay out nvidia’s way in terms of cuda and couple other things. I dont wish to speculate but considering how ai is having a blowout yet AMD is basically not even trying, it feels as if the nvidia ceo beying cousins with amd’s ceo has something to do with it. Maybe i am reading too much into it but there’s something going on. Why would amd leave so much money on the table?
I’d still like my Nvidia card to work so I’m happy about this, and when AMD on Linux eventually starts swapping over to explicit sync, I’ll be happy for those users then too.
Cool. It should still use it though. If for nothing else than the parallelization improvements it allows.
If we stuck with the “it works fine so I’m not moving away from it” approach then we’d all still be on x11. Nvidia sucks and they should be more of a team player, but I think they were right to push for explicit sync over implicit. We should’ve been doing this from the beginning on wayland.
I will never buy anything with Nvidia again.
Unfortunately, those of us doing scientific compute don’t have a real alternative.
ROCm just isn’t as widely supported as CUDA, and neither is Vulkan for GPGPU use cases.
AMD dropped the ball on GPGPU, and Nvidia is eating their lunch. Linux desktop users be damned.

Bubbles tend to pop sometimes.
Thats great.

AMD on Linux doesn’t need explicit sync
