Hip is not Cuda and even remove most mention if cuda from its API. It just mimic cuda API to try to provide compatibility.
And the result is that almost nobody use it today.

- adev_ 6y ago> How do people do GPGPU on AMD today? Because I thought AMD has a huge cloud GPU market share for things like ML ROCm and HIP [^1] or OpenCL. OpenCL is the hated solution of GPGPU. It is low level, incomplete and definitively not with a mature ecosystem of tools like Cuda. But it is currently the only one existing if you want your program to run on something else than Nvidia GPU ( Meaning AMD, Intel, phone GPUs or FPGA accelerators).

- rrss 6y agoAMD has a tiny market share in the cloud GPU market. AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure all have compute instances with NVIDIA GPUs, and I don't think any with AMD GPUs (IIRC Azure maybe has windows instances with AMD GPUs for graphics). According to https://www.techquila.co.in/nvidia-cloud-ai-gpu-share/ https://www.techquila.co.in/nvidia-cloud-ai-gpu-share/, AMD is at ~1%.
