ZLUDA v6 Gets PhysX Running Well On AMD GPUs But Loses Commercial Funding
ZLUDA as a reminder is the open-source project that began as drop-in CUDA support for Intel graphics hardware and then was quietly funded by AMD for years as a drop-in CUDA replacement on AMD GPUs that went open-source after losing funding. That was then taken down and since late 2024 ZLUDA then began focusing on multi-GPU CUDA focused on AI after beginning to receive funding from an unspecified p…
