This is a naive question, but how hard would it be for AMD to make their cards/firmware CUDA compatible? Feels like that's what they would need to do to sell hardware in the space, other than banking on sufficiently severe shortages.
- JonChesterfield 3y agoCuda runs in the layer above firmware. Compiling cuda to amdgpu isa could be done but might invite lawsuits. There's a language called HIP which is a fairly close approximation to cuda. You can probably convert one to the other with determination and regex. The GPUs themselves are fundamentally different in ways that hopefully don't matter to your application (warp synchronisation is the big one in my opinion, but I suspect cuda applications ignore it and just live with the race conditions).
