Video opened with 'for AMD fans' and that was enough for me to end it.
Don't need that silly trabilism.

Does it have A.I. hardware? If not then it's not a 2080 killer as far as chess is concerned.

Afaik, AMD still has no TensorCores on board,
but it remains open how the price per Knps for LC0 will be...

I think the LC0 code is strictly written for Nvidia cards, so a complete rewrite would be needed for OpenCL.
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

There are 3 versions of lc0, CUDA, OpenCL and CPU so it's already there. Thing is it's way slower than CUDA.Dann Corbit wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 8:18 pmI think the LC0 code is strictly written for Nvidia cards, so a complete rewrite would be needed for OpenCL.

Srdja is an OpenCL expert, so maybe he can fix it.CMCanavessi wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 8:33 pmThere are 3 versions of lc0, CUDA, OpenCL and CPU so it's already there.

Thanks for the Kudos, but i am really a layman in neural networks.Dann Corbit wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 8:38 pmSrdja is an OpenCL expert, so maybe he can fix it.CMCanavessi wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 8:33 pmThere are 3 versions of lc0, CUDA, OpenCL and CPU so it's already there.

Afaik, GCP wrote Leela Zero initially with an OpenCL backend,
and this was ported to Leela Chess Zero,
then Ankan added an high performant cuDNN backend,
and with the new Nivida RTX series this backend profits from TensorCores.
So i think it is AMDs turn to release some optimized OpenCL NN libraries
and add TensorCores, or a similar technique, to their gpus.

Here is a NN lib for OpenCL:
https://github.com/hughperkins/DeepCL
I've no idea how good it is.
Or maybe:
https://github.com/plaidml/plaidml
Or maybe:
https://github.com/keras-team/keras
