> I totally agree with you observation. There is actually a lot of space to explore. For example, there is no deep learning framework that allow us to use AMD GPUs. If Julia is the first language to solve this problem it might motivate a lot of people to try the language (HBM2 AMD GPUS for 600$ vs 10000$ of the competition).

Having a library for DNN with AMD / Intel GPU support will indeed be a game changer.

I really don’t understand why Intel / AMD aren’t pushing it harder.

By the way, there is one project, though limited to Intel hardware - [Intel MKL DNN](https://github.com/01org/mkl-dnn). Though I’m not sure if one day they will use Intel GPU. Maybe…
