AMD takes down NVIDIA-CUDA replacement for Intel GPUs. What? (www.youtube.com)

The developer wants to continue the project from the codebase before they used the AMD ROCM code.

Previously, it allowed to run CUDA apps on Intel GPUs (integrated I think) and beat OpenCL in performance.

Did you editorialise this title and description? How did AMD take down an Intel specific project? Are you intentionally missing out the amd-backed development for zluda on amd gfx? If Zluda can run unmodified CUDA code, where does ROCm factor in?

FTFR:

What happened

The code that was previously here has been taken down at AMD's request. The code was released with AMD's approval through an email. AMD's legal department now says it's not legally binding, hence the rollback. Before anyone asks: I have received no legal threats or any communication from NVIDIA.

What now

At this point, one more hostile corporation does not make much difference. I plan to rebuild ZLUDA starting from the pre-AMD codebase. Funding for the project is coming along and I hope to be able to share the details in the coming weeks. It will have a different scope and certain features will not come back.
