Summary

In this chapter, we learned about different GPU manufacturers and computing on NVIDIA and AMD GPU platforms. We also compared these two leading GPU manufactures and explored their scope and applicability options through a CUDA versus ROCm comparison. We looked through different GPUs and saw which one to choose according to a specific requirement. Finally, we revisited configuration options from Chapter 2, Designing a GPU Computing Strategy, and saw how we can modify them toward a liquid-cooled setup. Considering the RTX 2080 Ti and the Radeon VII, we understood their applicability by modifying two of our previously listed configurations in the High-end budget section in Chapter 2, Designing a GPU Computing Strategy.

Now that you have come to the end of this chapter, you should now be able to distinguish between NVIDIA and AMD GPUs based on your set of computational requirements...
