It still looks like porting idea, not like a shim that makes CUDA run on AMD. So I'd say CUDA is still locked to Nvidia. AMD are trying to ease up the transitio

It still looks like porting idea, not like a shim that makes CUDA run on AMD. So I'd say CUDA is still locked to Nvidia. AMD are trying to ease up the transition to portable options - that's surely good, but it's not a full fledged lock-in unlocking. I'd say, Nvidia are being hypocritical here, with this whole "democratizing" claim. They are direct beneficiaries of the lock-in they are advancing with it.
