Is it possible to run CUDA on AMD GPUs

Question

I d like to extend my skill set into GPU computing  I am familiar with raytracing and realtime graphics OpenGL   but the next generation of graphics and high performance computing seems to be in GPU computing or something like it   I currently use an AMD HD 7870 graphics card on my home computer  Could I write CUDA code for this   my intuition is no  but since Nvidia released the compiler binaries I might be wrong    A second more general question is  Where do I start with GPU computing  I m certain this is an often asked question  but the best I saw was from 08  and I figure the field has changed quite a bit since then

You can t use CUDA for GPU Programming as CUDA is supported by NVIDIA devices only  If you want to learn GPU Computing I would suggest you to start CUDA and OpenCL simultaneously  That would be very much beneficial for you   Talking about CUDA  you can use mCUDA  It doesn t require NVIDIA s GPU

Nope  you can t use CUDA for that  CUDA is limited to NVIDIA hardware  OpenCL would be the best alternative  Khronos itself has a list of resources  As does the StreamComputing eu website  For your AMD specific resources  you might want to have a look at AMD s APP SDK page  Note that at this time there are several initiatives to translate cross-compile CUDA to different languages and APIs  One such an example is HIP  Note however that this still does not mean that CUDA runs on AMD GPUs

Yup      You can use Hipify to convert CUDA code very easily to HIP code which can be compiled run on both AMD and nVidia hardware pretty good  Here are some links   GPUOpen very cool site by AMD that has tons of tools and software libraries to help with different aspects of GPU computing many of which work on both platforms   HIP Github Repository that shows the process to hipify   HIP GPUOpen Blog

You can run NVIDIA   CUDA    code on Mac  and indeed on OpenCL 1 2 GPUs in general  using Coriander   Disclosure  I m the author   Example usage   cocl cuda sample cu   cuda sample   Result

I think it is going to be possible soon in AMD FirePro GPU s  see press release here but support is coming 2016 Q1 for the developing tools      An early access program for the  Boltzmann Initiative  tools is planned for Q1 2016

As of 2019 10 10 I have NOT tested it  but there is the  GPU Ocelot  project  http   gpuocelot gatech edu   that according to its advertisement tries to compile CUDA code for a variety of targets  including AMD GPUs
