SCALE by Spectral Compute

A GPGPU programming toolkit that allows CUDA applications to be natively compiled for :amd: AMD GPUs.

SCALE does not require the CUDA program or its build system to be modified.

Support for more GPU vendors and CUDA APIs is in development.

Supported GPUS (at time of post)

  • Supported and covered in CI tests

    • AMD gfx1030 (Navi 21, RDNA 2.0)
    • AMD gfx1100 (Navi 31, RDNA 3.0)

  • GPUs with ad-hoc manual testing that “seem to work”:

    • AMD gfx1010
    • AMD gfx1101

  • GPUs that are a “work in progress”:

    • AMD gfx900 (Vega 10, GCN 5.0)

Visit the SCALE docs pages for more info :rocket:

GPGPU? I thought that was a type at first. What’s the acronym?

Pretty sure it’s “general purpose graphics processing unit” but not 100% certain.
