This feature, which until now was exclusive to AMD Radeon graphics cards for professionals, comes to compete with NVIDIA’s CUDA. Radeon Open Compute Ecosystem is a software suite for GPU programming, just like NVIDIA does with CUDA. But until now this software suite was only compatible with Linux and professional GFX9, CDNA and RDNA graphics. Now too is compatible with the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, RX 6600 and R9 Furyreceiving only full compatibility with this latest model that is already several years old, although it does so with the linux operating system.

Windows support has been enabled for the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, but in only in HIP SDKlike the RX 6600 which has only received support for HIP runtime. This compatibility seems one more step to compete with NVIDIAbut there are still many more models to be added with full compatibility in Windows.

My passion for hardware began at the age of 14 when I gutted my first computer: a 386 DX 40 with 4MB of RAM and a 210MB hard drive. I continue to give free rein to my passion in the technical articles that I write at Geeknetic. I spend most of my free time playing video games, contemporary and retro, on the 20+ consoles I own, in addition to the PC.
