AMD was (is) tinkering with a translation layer for CUDA, much like how WINE translates directX. Great idea but it’s been taking a while in this fast paced market.

From what I understand, they dropped the contract with the engineer who was working on it.

Fortunately, as part of the contract, said engineer stipulated that the project would become open source, so now it is, and is still being maintained by that engineer.
