Nvidia has wrapped their cuda language in patents and licensing so tightly that there is no way AMD could release anything cuda-compatible.
- kkielhofner 3y agoYes but AMD could release a ROCm that actually works and then put actually meaningful resources into some of the countless untold projects out there that have been successfully building on CUDA for 15 years. There was a recent announcement that after six years AMD finally sees the $$$ and will be starting to (finally) put some real effort into ROCm[0]. That announcement was two days ago and they claim they started on this last year. My occasional experience with ROCm doesn't show much progress or promise. I'm all for viable Nvidia competition in the space but AMD has really, really, really dropped the ball on GPGPU with their hardware up to this point.
