> Warning: this is a very incomplete proof of concept. It's probably not going to work with your application. ZLUDA currently works only with applications which use CUDA Driver API or statically-linked CUDA Runtime API - dynamically-linked CUDA Runtime API is not supported at all.
Common man. You can't call it a drop in replacement if it's an incomplete proof of concept.
- JosephRedfern 6y agoI don’t think it’s unfair to call it a drop in replacement, though the current limitations should perhaps be caveated a little more clearly. I think calling it a drop in replacement highlights that the aim of Zluda is to not require recompilation of the software being run. Maybe “Proof of concept drop in replacement” would be a better description?
- syspec 6y agoThat's the goal, even if not there yet
- bottled_poe 6y agoWhat’s does this mean? Is the statement in the article true or not?
- rvz 6y ago> Common man. You can't call it a drop in replacement if it's an incomplete proof of concept. I was nearly put off by that but maybe it should be given a chance with some funding or what not. All great and interesting things come from proof of concepts, that actually work. At least it isn't vapourware. Unlike some 'projects' I see on GitHub.
- rvz 6y agoDownvoters: So this 'proof of concept' on GitHub is in fact some how 'vapourware', and it shows an empty repository with zero functioning working code? I'm looking at the same repository as everyone else in this HN post. Literally the top comment is even suggesting that Intel could be interested in funding this, so surely it deserves a chance with some backing, even if it is 'incomplete'. Care to explain the downvotes?
