   @metal3d It's the tradition of where the coders are speaking instead of more integration. Some projects opt to cut resources to the minimum working objective, meaning that integration to a wide variety of choices is left behind.
   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.
   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 to run my software because most toolkits I use are for cuda.
   AMD is a rich company and they lagged behind, and now are force to adapt ROCm to CUDA....instead of having something more generalistic
