AMD is working on ROCm https://rocm.github.io/ It will be an open source answer to CUDA and I hope this will now get more support.

"We are excited to present ROCm, the first open-source HPC/Hyperscale-class platform for GPU computing that’s also programming-language independent. We are bringing the UNIX philosophy of choice, minimalism and modular software development to GPU computing. The new ROCm foundation lets you choose or even develop tools and a language run time for your application."

Does anyone here know how fqr along this effort is? Is it usable today (in the sense that one could develop TF backend which uses ROCm)?
