Unfortunately, I think developers handed them the market too, it wasn't just the competition not being up to snuff.
Developers valued their own development experience, features, and performance over value, efficiency, portability, openness, or freedom. The result is anyone depending on CUDA became vendor locked to Nvidia. Similar as the story with Direct3D, though thankfully there are workable solutions for D3D now implemented on top of Vulkan. Nvidia's CUDA moat may be less fordable.
- bmicraft 3y agoJust today something very interesting came out: ZLUDA It's a reimplementation of cuda on top of rocm, and it's a drop in replacement you can use with already compiled binaries. It's even faster than native rocm/hip in blender
