amd real af for that
“AMD decided this year to discontinue funding the effort and not release it as any software product”.
So AMD decided that it wasn’t worthwhile and so the developer released it on his own. AMDs decisions are just baffling. You still can’t even install Pytorch for rocm on Windows.

AMD may have done this to avoid legal entanglements. It allows the solution to exist without a full endorsement from AMD and also lets the open source community drive it to where it needs to be as far as features and functionality.
my thoughts too - now I really hope this project has a future in the open source env and it’s not just an ambitious endeavor
novideo’s existence setting the bar so low that im giving kudos to a traded for-profit company
This is a big deal as it kills one of the major vendor lock-ins nVidia has. Gives people much more choice in the products they can buy to achieve their tasks.
AMD now has the secret sauce. Now they need an architecture with proper dual-issue, and even a backport of the CUs onto RDNA3 structures for the RDNA4 lineup would be good, or 2025 RDNA5 would also be good.
Oddly enough, I’ve been trying to build rocm on slackware for the past week. It keeps failing out somewhere and throwing a HIP error that I can’t figure out. I wonder if this has anything to do with it.
