I love to root for an underdog. But I've been pulling for AMD for years and they just can't get their linux support to the same level of NVIDIA's. I speculate that they have undiagnosed design errors in their driver.
Fool me several times, shame on me.... ;) Really -- ever since the ATI acquisition I thought AMD could make it happen. And it's true that they have come a long way since then.
"New Linux Driver and Runtime Stack optimized for HPC & Ultra-scale class computing" sounds great, let's hope this time they can do it.
:) I've only been deeply involved with compute for the past two years, so I am still an optimist. I think AMD pretty much has no choice but to get it right this time: they need server and HPC dough to stay afloat.
