You don't need to be a professional content creator or an expert in data analysis to know that when it comes to GPUs for these roles, one manufacturer dominates the market: Nvidia. That's almost entirely down to CUDA, a programming platform that's been around for years. AMD has its own system called ROCm but it's nowhere near as popular. Well, thanks to the tireless efforts and work of one person, you can now enjoy all the benefits of CUDA applications on a Radeon graphics card, without changing a single line of code.
The work in question is called ZLUDA and the person is Andrzej Janik. As explained by Phoronix, he first created the system while working at Intel and it was used to permit Intel GPUs to run CUDA applications. After leaving that company, he was then contracted by AMD to do the same thing with its ROCm platform but the chip giant ultimately shelved the whole project after a few years.
