   @metal3d It's the tradition of where the coders are. Some projects opt to 
cut resources to the minimum working objective, meaning that integration to a 
wide variety of choices is left behind and spending money on other things 
doesn't seem to be a problem though (like nvidia HW).
   Why do you think people still code these things in windows although it's a 
terrible platform from it. Tradition.
   It's the sad reality of resources limitations and mostly tradition of 
training.
   RocM now works with mxnet apparently..by using nvcc code lol. I also think 
openCL should be the way to go, as intel,amd,nvidia, etc are all supported. 
   And I guess for work, I'll be forced to buy a 3x the price nvidia (instead 
of 3 GPU of same performance) to run my software because most toolkits I use 
are for cuda.
   AMD is a rich company and they lagged behind, and now are forced to adapt 
ROCm to CUDA....instead of having something more generalistic
