CUDA code runs on AMD's RX 9060 XT via ZLUDA and ROCm

CUDA for AMD on Windows

A reproducible Windows setup lets CUDA-targeted applications run on AMD GPUs using ZLUDA and the AMD HIP SDK. Validated on the Radeon RX 9060 XT (gfx1200), it passes cuda_check for nvcuda, cuBLAS, cuBLASLt, cuSPARSE, and cuFFT, and completes a 2.2-million-parameter PPO training run. cuDNN is unavailable, so convolution-heavy workloads may fail. Other AMD GPUs are unverified candidates.

The public, upstream-only path has been tested without any private/recovered DLLs.

    Off-topic and somewhat of a rant, but I'd far prefer us all focusing on open standards like HIP, SYCL, OpenCL, etc.

    It's unbearable that most LLM inference happens on closed H/W, closed drivers, and closed SDKs.

    AI will take down Nvidia’s moat. When it becomes trivial to translate CUDA/PTX to HIP, SYCL or Metal, CUDA is no longer the moat, it becomes the intermediate representation.

    This gives me strong "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" kind of vibes

    Interesting option for CDNA architecture chips. I wonder if this moves to an open standard?

    If anyone has used this, how good is this? And will it allow running AMD GPU with MATLAB? I have a 7900xt

    I made cuda-metal btw (for mac kek), https://github.com/lulzx/cuda-metal

    To save everyone a click: No cuDNN and based off an ancient version of ROCm for windows (7.1 has been out for ages, 7.2 is current.)

    I can only hope NVIDIA won't send an army of lawyers against this.

More from this day
