Hi there,
this is early RFC. I added transparent AMD GPU support. I would be very happy about feedback :)
To build for amd, simply run
make TARGET=AMD. By default, it will still build for NVIDIA of course without any functional changes.Currently, gpu temp support is not available. While I have though about implementing the same pattern as taken with nvidia-smi, I don't think this is a clean solution. My take here would be to compile amdsmi as a static library and directly link against it. The licenses should be compatible, but correct me if I'm wrong. Also I haven't checked yet whether and how amdsmi handles global state, so there might be a technical issue.
Also I had to comment out some cublas functions. I do not know whether this leads to functional differences, so that should definitely be looked at.
Please let me know what you think :)
