ZLUDA is a drop-in replacement layer for CUDA that lets unmodified CUDA applications run on non-NVIDIA GPUs with near-native performance. It implements the CUDA API on top of other GPU runtimes such as AMD's ROCm.

Use cases

  • run CUDA applications on AMD GPUs
  • run Stable Diffusion on non-NVIDIA hardware
  • run llama.cpp with CUDA binaries on AMD GPUs
  • avoid rewriting CUDA code for other GPU vendors
  • use CUDA-based ML tools without an NVIDIA card

When to choose

  • you have CUDA-only software and a non-NVIDIA GPU
  • you cannot modify the application source code
  • you want near-native performance without porting to ROCm or Vulkan

When to avoid

  • you can natively target ROCm, Vulkan, or SYCL instead
  • you need guaranteed full CUDA feature coverage or vendor support
  • your workload depends on NVIDIA-exclusive features like NVLink or cuDNN edge cases
