Developers using AMD hardware often face limitations with CUDA, which is primarily designed for NVIDIA GPUs. A compatibility layer enabling CUDA applications to run on AMD hardware could fill this gap, attracting a significant user base. Developers working on GPU-accelerated applications would pay for this solution. A simple version could translate basic CUDA calls, while the biggest risk is the complexity of maintaining compatibility as technologies evolve.
