Interest in a ROCm SIG?

[Jeremy Newton]

A few people contact me directly trying to run things like PyTorch, which requires large
amounts of ROCm to get working (most of which Fedora does not have yet).

I feel like a SIG, or at least some wiki page would help organize things a bit for those
who want to tackle it but are unaware of the resources available.

Also is there a better mailing list for this? I'd hate to keep spamming devel with my
ROCm related interest :)

I would be very much interested in a SIG for that!

Not sure if it should be only for ROCm or more broadly targeting compute
accelerators, including GPUs by all three major manufacturers. Though, my
immediate interest on Fedora is in the ROCm stack, and especially in HIP.

Cheers,
Armin

A heterogeneous computing SIG would be very helpful. In addition to 
machine learning, there are many uses for this in graphics applications 
as well as for scientific computing.

Fantastic idea, I've just created a new page. I'll update it as I have time:
