I am having some difficulty finding a library with which to explore machine learning/ai. I have a pair of R9 290x's, and can't seem to find a lib which works well for it.
First I tried array-fire, which has excellent CPU performance, but poor GPU performance for machine learning, as demonstrated on the benchmarks in the machine_learning sample folder.
I looked into rocm and MIOpen, I tried the hip enabled tensorflow but found it is not supported on the 290x generations. I found someone working on llvm-amdgpu suppport for tensorflow as well, but it doesn't look ready yet
I looked into accelerate for haskell, and found an issue regarding the amdgpu backend, but it also looks not ready.
Maybe I haven't been searching broadly enough? But from what I can tell, almost everything runs on cuda, and I can't afford a new GPU for this right now.
