Tom's Hardware: "AMD announces unified UDNA GPU architecture — bringing RDNA and CDNA together to take on Nvidia's CUDA ecosystem"
<https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/amd-announces-unified-udna-gpu-architecture-bringing-rdna-and-cdna-together-to-take-on-nvidias-cuda-ecosystem> This seems important to me. I lost a lot of interest in playing with AMD GPU Computing when consumer cards were no longer supported by AMD's computing stack. Unfortunately, it is clear that this unification will take years because there are GPUs in the product pipeline that haven't got the memo. I found one particular paragraph disappointing: The company also remains focused on ROCm despite the emergence of the UXL Foundation, an open software ecosystem for accelerators that is getting broad support from other players in the industry, like Qualcomm, Samsung, Arm, and Intel. ROCm seems to be to be an imperfect emulation of CUDA. How is that going to be a winner?

I tend to follow the same kinds of issues. Have you seen this one? https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/software-allows-cuda-code-to... -- Alvin Starr || land: (647)478-6285 Netvel Inc. || home: (905)513-7688 alvin@netvel.net ||
