How do you produce a CUDA clone if you can't explore any CUDA implementations or read any CUDA specs without first obtaining a licence.
- kazinator 9y agoYou get someone else to obtain that license and produce a detailed requirement specification which they then sort of leak in your direction. You then "clean room" implement, without having seen any original documentation or worked with the original device or software. That someone else is not connected in any way; i.e. you are not both subsidiaries of the same company, etc. E.g. your manager's uncle has a friend who works in some company where they have a CUDA license; arrangements are made and things are procured. The requirement specification is not traceable to a particular CUDA license key; there is nothing that can be proven about the identity of the source.
