if you are developing your own hardware, you provide your own stack to avoid lawsuits with nvidia. i don't think it's a technical problem at all, but a legal one. this is probably why zluda was scrapped by AMD and Intel. Nvidia technically bans the creation of CUDA reimplementations in their TOS if i remember correctly
- zarzavat 2mo agoDoesn't Google v Oracle provide protection here? Copying APIs is fair use. If it's patents that are the problem then presumably all these large semiconductor companies have defensive parent portfolios.
- alightsoul 2mo agoI don't know then, amd and Intel decided to get rid of Zluda before that lawsuit ruled that apis are fair use. And now, their cloud customers are ok with using their own stack such as rocm, and Intel got rid of their Garuda ai chips. Those things also happened before the lawsuit was settled It would be a breach of contract not a copyright issue.
