ZLUDA developers had hoped to provide robust PyTorch support by end of 2025 but that didn't quite turn out. Llama.cpp support using NVIDIA CUDA back-end is now considered complete. Llama.cpp has #AMD ROCm but having ZLUDA support for Llama.cpp allows for performance comparisons. ZLUDA devs report that their route achieves "nearly identical" performance to the native ROCm back-end.

#ZLUDA Adds #CUDA 13.1 Compatibility For Running CUDA Apps On Non-NVIDIA Hardware
The current form of ZLUDA is on delivering CUDA for non-NVIDIA GPUs but not explicitly being tied to one #GPU target/vendor like in the past. This multi-GPU CUDA implementation though has been taking a special focus on AI workloads but ultimately this implementation will hopefully allow most unmodified CUDA software to run gracefully on other GPU hardware.

#ZLUDA For #CUDA On Non-NVIDIA GPUs Enables #AMD #ROCm 7 Support
ZLUDA is working on bringing CUDA to non-NVIDIA GPUs. While there were prior versions focused originally on Intel GPUs and then for a while AMD-financed work on Radeon/ROCm support, the current take is on being a multi-vendor CUDA implementation and with a special focus on getting CUDA #AI workloads up and running.

#ZLUDA 5 Released With An Offline #Compiler For #CUDA On Non-NVIDIA #GPUs
#ZLUDA5 introduces "zoc" as an offline compiler for ZLUDA. #Zoc will take a NVIDIA PTX file as input and output the #LLVM intermediate representation (IR) and the #RDNA Assembly for the GPU in use generated in turn by the #ROCm compiler.
