MIOpen OpenCL support (AMD's alternative to cuDNN)

[Dragan Djuric]

Hi Marco,

It seems that MlOpen has been supporting OpenCL for some time now, and there appear to be libraries that use it more or less successfully.

I know that supporting so many libraries is quite a burden for you, and you'd probably be cautious before adding the support for another one. OTOH, deep learning is very important right now, and having a cuDNN alternative in OpenCL for the AMD platform might give JOCL a much needed appreciation from Java community.

Of course, I would like to help with that as much as I can. Although the tools and the process to create the initial support are only available to you, the least I can do is create bindings to my Clojure libraries, test it, and dig out as many bugs as I can.

Is there a chance that you'd consider supporting MIOpen?
