When will windows support be available as announced at CES 2024?

[phanomgames]

Yeah really. I only see 1 PR open, and the windows project hasn't been filled out with anything. Does that mean it's soon or is there a whole bunch left to do?

It's crazy that we've been waiting for 8+ months with no pytorch support. I swapped from a 1070ti which ran pytorch fine to AMD expecting to be able to use it... Probably not goin gwith AMD in the future.

It takes time! Just look at how long it took to add RDNA support to the ROCm platform. MIOpen wasn´t supported there as well in the begining, as the optimized kernels are often hand-written assembly for a specific architecture.
No one can tell today, it´s ready when it´s ready!

Guess we will see full windows support in late 2024, as Microsoft is pushing forward with AI and probably will require PCs to have certain minimal inference performance requirements.

I like how they do a dual approach with the bought Xilinx Tech (now called XDNA 1 / XDNA 2) but still commited to AI on consumer GPUs (RDNA).
This will allow some training on the GPUs for us, as the XDNA accelerators are not good at this.

Fully working PyTorch on ROCm on RDNA2+ will be cool, once it arrives.. Even on Linux it was a hit and miss thing for me with PyTorch on ROCm on RDNA..

The support is already there, the point is that in the new release, they give the compiled exe, which is what I am referring to. 40 PR have been added from @apwojcik to the main.

any news ?

[supernovae]

Looking forward to the release. PyTorch on Windows would help me not spend so much time dual booting 👍 Is there any way to compile/build my own builds while we wait for a release?

@apwojcik Can you help @supernovae with this? Or it's too complicated still?

Still not binares for rocm6 for windows. I guess they are trying to fix the RDNA compilers etc. given the problem with tinygrad.

[Picus303]

is there any updates on the matter? maybe something on the current state of the project?

AMD doesn't care about windows support, there's like 2 people working on it and they won't even update the project roadmap. just get an nvidia GPU.

(and yes that should include miopen too)

With ROCm 6.1.3, we are making it even easier to develop for AI with Beta-level support for Windows® Subsystem for Linux®, also known as WSL 2.
