- SCALE is a GPGPU programming toolkit that compiles CUDA applications for AMD GPUs without modification.
- Installation involves activating SCALE and compiling applications similarly to NVIDIA CUDA.
- Tested projects include open-source CUDA projects, with compatibility status available online.
- Supported GPUs in the free edition include various AMD architectures like gfx900, gfx1030, and gfx1100.
- Enterprise edition supports additional AMD architectures like gfx908, gfx90a, and gfx942.
- Academic/research licenses are available, and support for specific AMD GPUs can be expedited upon request.
- SCALE components include an nvcc-compatible compiler, CUDA runtime/driver/math APIs for AMD GPUs, and wrapper libraries for CUDA-X APIs.
- SCALE differs by allowing direct compilation of CUDA code for AMD GPUs, aiming for full NVIDIA CUDA compatibility.
- SCALE offers language extensions for easier and more efficient GPU code writing, beyond standard CUDA.
- Contact options include joining Discord or emailing [email protected] for missing APIs or support.
