  • ROCM wasn’t a thing when I bought. You need(ed) NVidia for machine learning and other GPGPU stuff

    Same for me, had to buy an Alienware laptop with an NVIDIA GPU during my PhD for some GPGPU coding I had to do as CUDA was pretty much the only choice back then and OpenCL was a joke in terms of performance and wasn’t getting much love from GPU manufacturers. But right now, I know for sure I won’t ever buy an NVIDIA GPU again, ROCm works wonderfully well even on an APU (in my case, a Radeon 680M integrated GPU) and it’s also future-proof since you’re almost writing CUDA code so if you ever switch to an NVIDIA GPU again you mostly will just have to replace “hip” with “cuda” in your code + some magic constants (warp length in particular).






















  • Could be a coincidence IMO otherwise that would mean that there was a breach at lemmy.world where you signed up. Tagging @ruud@lemmy.world.

    I signed up with an email address dedicated only to this account 8 days ago and so far it has received nothing except the 2 verification emails (the one where you’re prompted to click a verification link, and the subsequent email confirming your verification), and my spam folder is completely empty.
