I thought this abbreviation was mostly out of use already, since we have CUDA and compute shaders now. It seems Metal and Vulkan and DirectX and OpenGL all use the term “compute” (Microsoft does have DirectCompute and compute shaders, they’ve been around for at least a decade). Not sure if that answers the question - all the graphics APIs provide a mechanism for compute shaders - or if you are asking more about a direct competitor for CUDA or something else?
