Export Controls on Advanced Computing and Semiconductor Manufacturing Items

And what would happen if Nvidia got banned? ROCm would take over. All the development resources would be going into that.

That's probably what's going to happen in China.

ROCm likely won't take over, because of its flaws. Eventually, of course, either it or something else, would emerge as a solution.

But it will take time. Buying time is what this ban is trying to achieve. Slowing down the rivals.

I think you overestimate how long such a change would take.

If Nvidia was banned tomorrow, I think within 6 months another leader would emerge and be supported by all the big libraries.

ROCm is already supported by Pytorch apparently.

My understanding is that while it is theoretically supported, the vast majority of random pytorch projects you find on GitHub will need tweaks before they'll run in ROCm
