# Cross-Platform GPU Support

## Overview

**The SAME codebase works with NVIDIA (CUDA) and AMD (ROCm) GPUs!**

PyTorch abstracts the hardware differences - your trading code doesn't need to change. Just install the right PyTorch build for your hardware.

## How It Works

### Same API, Different Backend

```python
# This code works on BOTH NVIDIA and AMD GPUs!
import torch

device = torch.device('cuda' if torch.cuda.is_available() else 'cpu')
model = model.to(device)
data = data.to(device)
```

**Why it works:**
- PyTorch uses `torch.cuda` API for both NVIDIA (CUDA) and AMD (ROCm)
- ROCm implements CUDA compatibility layer (HIP)
- Your code calls `torch.cuda.*` regardless of hardware
- PyTorch routes to CUDA or ROCm backend automatically

## Setup for Different Hardware

### Automatic Setup (Recommended) ⭐

```bash
cd /mnt/shared/DEV/repos/d-popov.com/gogo2
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Auto-detects hardware and installs correct PyTorch
./scripts/setup-pytorch.sh
```

The script detects:
- ✅ NVIDIA GPUs → Installs CUDA PyTorch
- ✅ AMD GPUs → Installs ROCm PyTorch
- ✅ No GPU → Installs CPU PyTorch

### Manual Setup

**NVIDIA GPU (CUDA 12.1):**
```bash
pip install torch --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121
```

**AMD GPU (ROCm 6.2):**
```bash
pip install torch --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm6.2
```

**CPU Only:**
```bash
pip install torch --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu
```

## Verified Hardware

### ✅ AMD
- **AMD Strix Halo** (Radeon 8050S/8060S, RDNA 3.5) - gfx1151
- **AMD RDNA 3** (RX 7900 XTX, 7800 XT, etc.)
- **AMD RDNA 2** (RX 6900 XT, 6800 XT, etc.)

- **RTX 20 Series** (2080 Ti, 2070, etc.) - CUDA 11.x

### ✅ CPU
- Any x86_64 CPU (Intel/AMD)

## Code Compatibility

### What Works Automatically

```python
# ✅ Device management
device = torch.device('cuda')  # Works with both CUDA and ROCm
tensor.to('cuda')               # Works with both
torch.cuda.is_available()       # Returns True on both

# ✅ Memory management
torch.cuda.empty_cache()        # Works with both
torch.cuda.synchronize()        # Works with both
torch.cuda.get_device_properties(0)  # Works with both

# ✅ Training operations
model.cuda()                    # Works with both
optimizer.step()                # Works with both
loss.backward()                 # Works with both
```

### No Code Changes Needed

**All training code works identically:**

```python
# ANNOTATE/core/real_training_adapter.py
# This works on NVIDIA AND AMD without modification!

self.device = torch.device('cuda' if torch.cuda.is_available() else 'cpu')
self.model.to(self.device)

batch = {k: v.to(self.device) for k, v in batch.items()}
outputs = self.model(**batch)
loss.backward()
```

## Performance Comparison

### Training Speed (relative to CPU baseline)

| Hardware | Speed | Notes |
|----------|-------|-------|
| **NVIDIA RTX 4090** | 10-15x | Best performance |
| **NVIDIA RTX 3090** | 8-12x | Excellent |
| **AMD RX 7900 XTX** | 6-10x | Very good |
| **AMD Strix Halo (iGPU)** | 2-3x | Good for laptop |
| **CPU (12+ cores)** | 1.0x | Baseline |

### Inference Speed (relative to CPU baseline)

| Hardware | Speed | Notes |
|----------|-------|-------|
| **NVIDIA RTX 4090** | 20-30x | Real-time capable |
| **NVIDIA RTX 3090** | 15-25x | Real-time capable |
| **AMD RX 7900 XTX** | 12-20x | Real-time capable |
| **AMD Strix Halo (iGPU)** | 5-10x | Real-time capable |
| **CPU (12+ cores)** | 1.0x | May lag |

## Verification

### Check Your Setup

```bash
python -c "
import torch
print(f'PyTorch: {torch.__version__}')
print(f'GPU available: {torch.cuda.is_available()}')
if torch.cuda.is_available():
    print(f'Device: {torch.cuda.get_device_name(0)}')
    print(f'Memory: {torch.cuda.get_device_properties(0).total_memory / 1024**3:.1f} GB')
"
```

**Expected output (AMD Strix Halo):**
```
PyTorch: 2.5.1+rocm6.2
GPU available: True
Device: AMD Radeon Graphics
Memory: 47.0 GB
```

**Expected output (NVIDIA RTX 4090):**
```
PyTorch: 2.5.1+cu121
GPU available: True
Device: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090
Memory: 24.0 GB
```

## Development Workflow

### Single Dev Machine (Your Current Setup)

```bash
# One-time setup
./scripts/setup-pytorch.sh

# Daily use
source venv/bin/activate
python ANNOTATE/web/app.py
```

### Multiple Dev Machines (Team)

Each developer runs setup once:

```bash
# Developer 1 (AMD GPU)
./scripts/setup-pytorch.sh
# → Installs ROCm PyTorch

# Developer 2 (NVIDIA GPU)
./scripts/setup-pytorch.sh
# → Installs CUDA PyTorch

# Developer 3 (No GPU)
./scripts/setup-pytorch.sh
# → Installs CPU PyTorch
```

**Result:** Same code, different PyTorch builds, everything works!

### CI/CD Pipeline

```yaml
# .github/workflows/test.yml
- name: Setup PyTorch
  run: |
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    pip install torch --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu
```

Use CPU build for CI (fastest for testing, no GPU needed).

## Troubleshooting

### GPU Not Detected

**Check drivers:**
```bash
# NVIDIA
nvidia-smi

# AMD
rocm-smi
```

**Reinstall PyTorch:**
```bash
pip uninstall torch
./scripts/setup-pytorch.sh
```

### Wrong PyTorch Build

**Symptom:** `torch.cuda.is_available()` returns `False` despite having GPU

**Solution:**
```bash
# Check current build
python -c "import torch; print(torch.__version__)"

# If it shows +cpu but you have GPU, reinstall:
./scripts/setup-pytorch.sh
```

### Mixed Builds

**Symptom:** Team members have different results

**Solution:** Ensure everyone runs `./scripts/setup-pytorch.sh` - it detects their specific hardware and installs correctly.

## Best Practices

### ✅ DO

- Use `torch.device('cuda')` (works with both CUDA and ROCm)
- Check `torch.cuda.is_available()` before using GPU
- Use automatic setup script for new machines
- Let PyTorch handle device-specific optimizations

### ❌ DON'T

- Hardcode CUDA-specific code
- Assume specific GPU memory sizes
- Pin PyTorch version in requirements.txt
- Install torchvision/torchaudio (not needed for trading)

## Summary

✅ **Same codebase works everywhere**  
✅ **Auto-setup script handles hardware detection**  
✅ **No code changes needed for different GPUs**  
✅ **PyTorch abstracts CUDA vs ROCm differences**  
✅ **Verified on AMD and NVIDIA hardware**

**Key Insight:** PyTorch's CUDA API is hardware-agnostic. Whether you have NVIDIA or AMD GPU, the same `torch.cuda.*` calls work. Just install the right PyTorch build for your hardware!
