Hi.
I'm working on a neural network in openCL and I'd like to use double.
Does amd r9 380x support that??

Solved! Go to Solution.
AFAICS it does support double precision FP.
Hi. I've added you to the developers white list and moved this message to the OpenCL forum. You can now post in any of the developer forums.

My lowly R9 270 has them: cl_khr_fp64 cl_amd_fp64. So, a superior r9 380x should have them as well.

Hi,
AMD Radeon Rx 300 series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The R9 380 has 1/16 double prerformance rate.
There are a few options:
- Get a new workstation gpu, those have good double performance, but also they aren't cheap.
- Get an older GCN gpu: As I remember, the HD7970 was at 1/4 rate.
- Get a fast new gaming card but use big numbers realized with the fast 32bit float instructions and their integer variants: v_mad_i32_i24 for example. Maybe the task can be done with this at the required precision, and if it is faster than the 1/16 rate, it can be a solution. (Note: If you need NAN/INF handling too, then this is a no go.)
thanks.
I'm creating a neural network, and i was considering going for "fake decimal" but i suppose it's too much work for now since i haven't even finished the neural network
