This is rather technical, but SCALE is a solution to enable Nvidia CUDA code run on AMD GPUs, without modification of the original codebase. The results in this early experiment show that even though performance hasn't been a focus yet (it is compatibility and functionality first), it is actually quite good compared to AMDs own native code (HIP).

SCALE as a solution to enable developers to write code once for CUDA, and run anywhere (AMD is the first target), is very bullish for AMD. We have been watching their progress over the past year and things are improving at a steady pace.
