Thanks for the links! I'm planning on contributing kernels back to open source, so will think of a way to be vendor agnostic. As far as I understand, HIP should

  hipify attempts to do that, but it potentially requires you to maintain two source trees, which isn't optimal. In this case, you'd want to run a CI/CD to convert your CUDA code at build time and compile that. But I think there are edge cases where that isn't possible. As you learned at the event, Modular is trying to make it more transparent by abstracting to a whole new language (Mojo). Another solution coming down the line which doesn't require changes to your CUDA code, nor learning a new language is: https://docs.scale-lang.com/ https://docs.scale-lang.com/

    Thanks for the link! Not the first time I came across it, but it's a good one. If I had to bet on the longer term, I think that something like Mojo will win out -- a programming language (mostly) agnostic to the underlying vector processor hardware. Similar to how Rust can target various SIMD implementations, though I've only dabbled in that.
