    Quote from the github faq:

    Why is this project suddenly back after 3 years? What happened to Intel GPU support?

    In 2021 I was contacted by Intel about the development od ZLUDA. I was an Intel employee at the time. While we were building a case for ZLUDA internally, I was asked for a far-reaching discretion: not to advertise the fact that Intel was evaluating ZLUDA and definitely not to make any commits to the public ZLUDA repo. After some deliberation, Intel decided that there is no business case for running CUDA applications on Intel GPUs.Shortly thereafter I got in contact with AMD and in early 2022 I have left Intel and signed a ZLUDA development contract with AMD. Once again I was asked for a far-reaching discretion: not to advertise the fact that AMD is evaluating ZLUDA and definitely not to make any commits to the public ZLUDA repo. After two years of development and some deliberation, AMD decided that there is no business case for running CUDA applications on AMD GPUs. One of the terms of my contract with AMD was that if AMD did not find it fit for further development, I could release it. Which brings us to today.

    What I’m wondering is, when and how will this benefit the end consumer like myself?

      If you use CUDA, you can now use AMD GPUs instead of only being able to use Nvidia. Otherwise, it doesn’t mean much.

        Yes I understand that part. I’m just wondering how. Will AMD release drivers? Third party drivers? No drivers, only software? What about software that just looks for Nvidia GPUs to use CUDA? Etc etc.

      In the context of the documentation “supported” means AMD will dedicate engineering resource to solving your issues, and that only applies to Instinct products.

      “Unsupported” doesn’t mean “it doesn’t run”. It means your bug reports are at the same level as every other commoner and could be ignored.

      Does ROCm run on gfx1010 (5700 XT)? I believe so. Will you get any traction on bug reports? Probably not.
