    “Open Compute” being trademarked is pretty ironic

      TLDR: ROCM is AMD’s variant for general purpose compute on GPUs, like CUDA is for NVIDIA.

      OpenAI being for profit.

      I use ROCM extensively (I write, design and train my own AIs/LLMs) and it’s annoying of an acronym, especially in command lines:

      --rocm-6.6.7.2-dev1  --cuda
      

      But I figure it’s a four letter acronym to match “CUDA”.

      I also pronounce it “Rock’em” in verbal versus “Koo’dah” (Barracuda).

      Everything is about marketing and goodwill. You can just say something has “blast processing” and fail to elaborate.

      https://www.opencompute.org/projects

      This seems to be a non-profit

      Well, FSF OSI would have trademarked “Open Source” if they could.

        Well, FSF would have trademarked “Open Source” if they could.

        I don’t think they would have?

        A) The FSF doesn’t even like the term

        B) They haven’t attempted to trademark “free software” or “software freedom” either.

          Ahh! Wrong org. It was OSI, not FSF.

        Given the context, I choose to believe smth means “shaking my tiny head”.

      I made this joke to people who work for AMD. I was a bit shocked that it hadn’t occurred to them :D

    Would “Open Computing” be tradmarked? Kinda like how shows would change a letter or two in a name to not get lawsuit like “Metflix” or “MeTube”

      Right. Thirsty marketers ruin everything.

    They could have at least renamed it to Radeon Operational Compute method or something…
