If Apple cannot do their own implementation of CUDA due to copyright second best is this; getting developers to build for LMX (which is on their laptops) and still get NVIDIA hardware support. Apple should do a similar thing for AMD.

I thought that the US Supreme Court decision in Google v. Oracle and the Java reimplementation provided enough case precedent to allow companies to re-implement something like CUDA APIs? https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/5/22367851/google-oracle-supreme-court-ruling-java-android-api https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/5/22367851/google-oracle-sup... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_LLC_v._Oracle_America,_Inc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_LLC_v._Oracle_America,_....

  Exactly and see also ROCM/HIP which is AMD’s reimplementation of CUDA for their gpus.

    Reimplementation of CUDA C++, not CUDA. CUDA is a set of four compilers, namely C, C++, Fortran and Python JIT DSLs, a bytecode and two compiler backend libraries, a set of compute libraries collection for the languages listed above, plugins for Eclipse and Visual Studio, a GPU graphical debugger and profiler.

    There's ZLUDA for AMD that actually implements CUDA, but it's still quite immature yet
