Comment on Tell HN: GpuOwl/PRPLL, GPU software used to find the largest prime numberparent

IF ROCm stops supporting Radeon Pro VII, the first solution is to stay on the most recent ROCm that still supports them.

Second, "does not support anymore" does not necessarily mean that it stops working on the old HW, but it could mean that new features/extension aren't implemented for the old HW anymore, and we may not care about those.

Third, AMD does contribute and integrates changes with upstream LLVM. This open-source work could be used by third parties (with significant effort I assume) to continue support.
