Spectral Compute's SCALE Tool Enables CUDA Applications on AMD GPUs, Challenges Nvidia

Jul 17, 2024, 11:13 AM

A new software tool called SCALE, developed by UK firm Spectral Compute, enables CUDA applications to run natively on AMD GPUs. This toolchain, which has been in development for seven years, allows users to compile unmodified CUDA code for AMD GPUs, potentially disrupting Nvidia's market dominance. SCALE promises to be a drop-in replacement for Nvidia's CUDA, which could have significant implications for Nvidia's stock price and the broader GPU market. SCALE also supports GPGPU and has support for more vendors in development.
