AMD Doing everything they can to make sure Intel and nVidia stay on top.

Well, it does say that Nvidia does not allow a translation layer like this.

Nvidia may be using an EULA to try and make people not use a translation layer, but if the EULA doesn’t apply or the consequences of breaking it don’t prevent you continuing then what Nvidia wants means diddly.

I don’t use CUDA or Nvidia so I don’t know but Google release Android Studio and have an EULA saying you can’t do bla bla bla. But Android Studio is open source so if I don’t use their binary and compile it myself then (as far as I know) their EULA doesn’t apply (only the open source license used before they added an EULA on top of it for distribution).

DarkThoughts ,

An EULA is an End User License Agreement. It has no legal authority over a customer who does not even use an nvidia product, let alone a company.

Perhaps not even when you use an Nvidia product like if I buy Nvidia hardware but don’t use their software (i.e. use open source drivers instead). I don’t know enough about CUDA to say if you’re not using Nvidia software (normally, the topic discusses a reverse-engineered one which doesn’t infringe on Nvidia’s copyright of their software).

Intel are on top?

sugar_in_your_tea ,

No, but that’s not AMD’s fault.

zik ,

Not in reliability…

But they’re probably still selling more CPUs to your average buyer who always buys Intel, doesn’t read tech news and never even heard about the controversy.

datelmd5sum ,

And they’re still somehow generating twice the revenue with Xeons vs. what AMD does with EPYCs. Who keeps buying all these Xeons!?

Amd dominanace started with 5000 series 4 years ago, it takes time for corpos to change vendor like that I would assume. So it takes years to play out.

This is a short term loss for a potential long term improvement. By eliminating dependency on translation APIs they can force the use of more open solutions like oneAPI which is even getting buy-in from companies like Imagination.

Keeping cuda alive is a bad idea.

If anyone’s holding a copy of this repo as of its last published state before the rollback hit me up, I’d love to have a copy of it stashed away to play with.

git bundle should be able to dump the entire repo as a single archive if you have a cloned copy sitting somewhere on disk.
