    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.

      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?
