Reverse engineering CUDA in a hardware solution is going to be quite the feat if they pull it off.

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.
