Chinese GPU Maker Receives Investment To Develop OpenCL & CUDA Compatible Chips To Tackle NVIDIA

5 comments

Reverse engineering CUDA in a hardware solution is going to be quite the feat if they pull it off.
More competition is always good for us
The more money they dump into these sinkholes the merrier the free world is.
Doesn't AMD's HIP translate CUDA code? Also being open sourced afaik.
- If HIP is built on top of the mess that is ROCm, I would not get too exited. The whole thing was fundamentally broken when I last tried it 6 months ago. Basically it would only run on a specific version of ubuntu and with like 2 specific consumer grade GPU models.
