Because they will forever be chasing Nvidia, bound to their development decisions, direction choices, compatibility a constant issue, all to run slower than Nvidia’s cards for the same workloads. Admittedly I don’t see AMD doing much of what’s actually needed either, but alas this was never it anyway 🙁
Comment on Open-Source AMD GPU Implementation Of CUDA "ZLUDA" Has Been Taken Down

Can someone explain the motivation of AMD? Why abandon it? Why 6 month later depublishing it? Why not embracing it? Why? (Please no sarcasm)

I only see them adding more reverse engineered code that they don’t want to see public, until they solved the legal issues. Maybe they’ll release a ZLUDA version soon that’s competing performance wise and an open source version later? But whatever it is, AMD is leaving the playing field to Nvidia since 2007, so there might actually beno logical reason at all for this move.
