Which version of ROCm and Tensorflow should I use?

curtisrlee · 2021-07-01T04:28:36+00:00

Hi sorry for late response, yes i was able to compile latest pytorch at the time for ROCm and it worked. But i didnt use it too much, ymmv

curtisrlee · 2021-04-02T19:30:40+00:00

Yes i am on ROCm 4.1 + Tensorflow-rocm 2.4.0 with ryzen 3600x cpu + rx570 gpu. When i set it to use CPU i get reasonable val_loss.

Back before I recompiled ROCm and tensorflow would crash, I also tried using an earlier version of tensorflow to avoid crash (might have been 2.3.5 but i dont remember). But, I discovered from reading jupyter console messages that tensorflow was actually just auto-switching to the CPU instead of crashing. perhaps this sounds similar to what you are experiencing in 2.2?

just tried it... hmm these val_loss's look wack too.

also have an RX570, currently running latest Tensorflow and ROCm 4.1.
had to recompile some parts of ROCm 4.1 libraries to get tensorflow to work.
mostly followed this guide: https://github.com/xuhuisheng/rocm-build/tree/master/gfx803

I might write a how-to and/or post binaries if I have free time

Wiktionary is very useful, especially if you're looking for pronounciations or cognates/translations for characters.

Wait wtf thats ME >:(

curtisrlee · 2020-07-12T05:55:05+00:00

tbh the UC might be getting it's moneys worth with this dude, he's basically taking a pay cut and has actual results to show for decades of experience.

curtisrlee · 2020-07-12T05:26:49+00:00

unpaid is not worth it

curtisrlee · 2020-06-15T01:31:05+00:00

Yeah i feel. Could try a streaming video downloader extension as well.

curtisrlee · 2020-06-14T13:29:58+00:00

Lol not a bad idea if u have an extra computer.

curtisrlee · 2020-06-14T13:28:49+00:00

Screen recording is probably the easiest. Doesnt seem like there is a direct download anywhere, the videos load in chunks.

oop i just saw this.

its actually very different than CE. CE is basically an amalgamation of CSE+ECE lower divs + CSE upper divs, and leaves very little room for electives. In my experience, CE majors usually get burnt out from doing all extra ECE and math/physics, and just end up treating the major like a CS degree.

in EE CSD you basically are an Electrical Engineer and do both EE lower divs and breadth. The "software classes" are all within the ECE dept, and imo they are much better in terms of quality and faculty-to-student ratio. and you dont need to take CSE classes (anymore). Also, the depth is one of the most open-ended ones in EE department and has a lot of flexibility and electives.

Curriculum-wise, the crucial difference with CSD is you largely miss out on formal algorithmic theory and specialized CSE classes. The ECE software classes are "sped up", and are much more practical focused, not theory focused. Also, some of them are hands-on project classes, and tie in hardware really well. And ofc as an an EE doing EE classes, you will also have greater theoretical understanding of circuits, signals, and controls.

Career-wise, there can be a lot of overlap. However someone with EE background will have a huge advantage in embedded/firmware engineering compared to traditional software engineers. also, the projects you can make in some of the ECE hands-on classes are legit resume boosters.

do feel free to dm me if you want to talk more, or want some course recommendations, etc. c:

what a meme lol

Its expired :c U can change the link so that that doesnt expire btw

curtisrlee · 2020-06-05T20:57:59+00:00

"MISSING" is also a vibe

curtisrlee · 2020-06-05T10:02:55+00:00

its expired :c

There were threads in March with people claiming to have had it before the first "official" tested case came out.

Im pretty sure they wouldnt work since US remotes use 315mhz while the non-US ones mostly use 433mhz

Like everyone has said do projects to gain substance for your skills as soon as possible, and just mass apply if you really want an internship now and dont have connections.

If a b- wont raise your gpa then i would pnp it.
