Introduction to CUDA Alternatives

Running CUDA on non-Nvidia hardware is a topic of interest.

ZLUDA: An Open-Source Option

One alternative is ZLUDA, which works on pre-compiled binaries.

There is also ZLUDA, which is open source and works on pre-compiled binaries. https://github.com/vosen/ZLUDA
