Hi everyone, my boss just put me in charge of buying our new workstation for image processing and deep learning.
Given articles like this one where AMD incurs a 2-3X performance penalty I am questioning the opportunity to choose an AMD configuration. https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/h...for-Python-Numpy-And-Other-Applications-1637/
We are not bound by perf/W considerations since it would be a single machine, but we use several commercial packages (Amira, Imaris, Matlab) that we have no control over and they are all compiled with ICC or other Intel supplied math libraries.
Mine is a tiny niche (image processing of microscopy data) and we lack any ability to custom compile things to work around Intel but it makes me sick hat I will have to reward the unethical business practices of a big conglomerate...
