Deep Learning with Free Software
Dear Hackernews, I'm curious if anyone has experience with "deep learning" setups on GPU without any usage of CUDA/NVIDIA. Ideally with just free/open-source software (frameworks and drivers). Also happy to learn about up and coming solutions and things that require a lot of effort and/or are incomplete. Software freedom is more important for me than convenience.
I'm not very familiar with deep learning, but OpenCL would be an
alternative to CUDA. Not quite as fast but designed for running
across a wide range of processors, so it doesn't care what color
the GPU is.
