Please. If HIP worked so well they would be eating into Nvidia's market share.

First, it's a porting kit, not a compatibility layer, so you can't run arbitrary CUDA apps on AMD GPUs. Second, it only runs on some of their GPUs.

This absolutely does not solve the problem.

HIP is just one of many examples of how utterly incompetent AMD is at software development.

GPU drivers, Adrenalin, Windows chipset drivers...

How many generations into the Ryzen platform are they, and they still can't get USB to work properly all the time?


AMD doesn't do USB, they source the controller IP from ASMedia, who also developed most of their chipsets.

Yeah but AMD could absolutely work on a joint venture to get something like moving along solidly.
