Agreed. Also, the last time HN discussed this, PTX came up: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15658031 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15658031 > My view is CUDA has already won, and everyone else needs to get over it. Even clang supports PTX now, which is a reasonably device agnostic representation, albeit controlled mostly by Nvidia. Perhaps intel will introduce their own extensions to this ISA. > Even if my precompiled CUDA application could run on Intel GPUs at 50% of the throughput, I'd be happy if I could later tweak and recompile it to get the full benefits from their hardware.
