Andrzej Janik has released ZLUDA 3, a new version of his open-source project that enables GPU-based applications designed for NVIDIA GPUs to run on other manufacturers’ hardware. The wrapper technology is designed to enable existing applications to run on new hardware unmodified, without the need for any work on their developers’ part.

This won't really affect the development of ZLUDA much in particular, since the main developer happens to live in The Netherlands, and clean-room reverse engineering - especially for interoperability purposes - is fully protected by law in the EU.

But NVIDIA does really like to make it as much of a pain as possible to support CUDA software anywhere but for a single user on their personal consumer-grade desktop.

Good news!

My next GPU won't be an Nvidia either way, but I would definitely miss the CUDA support.
