> AMD has the hardware but the support for HPC is non-existent outside of the joke that is bliss and AOCL.

You are probably two years behind the state of the art. The world's largest supercomputer, OLCF's Frontier, runs AMD CPUs and GPUs. It's emphatically using ROCm, not just BLIS and AOCL. See for example: https://docs.olcf.ornl.gov/systems/frontier_user_guide.html

That's hardly non-existent support for HPC.



Agreed...the main gap is support on consumer and workstation cards, which is where nVidia made headway, but that is starting erode super recently. ROCm works pretty well for me, I have had a lot more problems with specific packagers than the ROCm layer.
