ZLUDA For CUDA On Non-NVIDIA GPUs Enables AMD ROCm 7 Support

([Radeon] 6 Hours Ago ZLUDA + ROCm 7)


The [1]ZLUDA open-source project that has been through several incarnations but ultimately about getting CUDA software up and running on non-NVIDIA GPUs now supports the AMD ROCm 7 series.

ZLUDA is working on [2]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 [3]a multi-vendor CUDA implementation and with a special focus on getting CUDA AI workloads up and running.

The latest achievement to talk about for the ZLUDA effort is they are now supporting the [4]ROCm 7 series on Windows and Linux. Previously the ZLUDA code was limited to working with the ROCm 6.x releases while now the current ROCm 7.x series is supported for use with AMD graphics processors on both Microsoft Windows and Linux platforms.

The ROCm 7 support was merged yesterday via [5]this pull by lead developer Andrzej Janik. Subsequently [6]ZLUDA 6-preview.34 was released with Windows and Linux builds to incorporate that ROCm 7 support.

Briefly stated, the findings are that when presented with an array of
data or a sequence of events in which they are instructed to discover
an underlying order, subjects show strong tendencies to perceive order
and causality in random arrays, to perceive a pattern or correlation
which seems a priori intuitively correct even when the actual correlation
in the data is counterintuitive, to jump to conclusions about the correct
hypothesis, to seek and to use only positive or confirmatory evidence, to
construe evidence liberally as confirmatory, to fail to generate or to
assess alternative hypotheses, and having thus managed to expose themselves
only to confirmatory instances, to be fallaciously confident of the validity
of their judgments (Jahoda, 1969; Einhorn and Hogarth, 1978). In the
analyzing of past events, these tendencies are exacerbated by failure to
appreciate the pitfalls of post hoc analyses.
