AMD APU Support #75

Closed Whytehorse closed 7 years ago

Whytehorse commented 7 years ago

I saw the installation notes have a lot about CUDA but not OpenCL. Does this software require an Nvidia GPU to work? Are there plans to add other GPUs like AMD?

Hey! There is support for OpenCL for Torch but it isn't implemented in this repo. I've made modifications in the past to support opencl using this repo, and it was significantly slower than CUDA.

So yes, it does require an NVIDIA GPU currently, and someone needs to give a kick up AMDs backside till they start pushing deep learning support :)
