AMD Halts Open-Source CUDA Library ZLUDA Over Legal Concerns

The project aimed to run NVIDIA CUDA code on AMD GPUs but faces a legal rollback despite initial support.

ZLUDA allowed CUDA code to run on AMD and Intel GPUs without modification.
AMD initially supported ZLUDA but later retracted the code citing legal issues.
Developer Andrzej Janik plans to rebuild the project from a pre-AMD codebase.
NVIDIA's terms restrict using translation layers to run CUDA on non-NVIDIA platforms.
The project's future remains uncertain as funding and scope are reevaluated.
