CUDA for AMD on Windows
Run CUDA-targeted Windows applications on AMD GPUs through ZLUDA + ROCm/HIP.
A reproducible Windows CUDA compatibility setup built around ZLUDA + AMD HIP/ROCm. It is intended for CUDA-facing compute applications, including workloads that use CUDA-enabled LibTorch.
Validated hardware is currently AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT (gfx1200) only. Other AMD GPUs are candidates, not guaranteed working devices. If you test another card, please open a GPU compatibility report, whether it works or fails.
The public, upstream-only path has been tested without any private/recovered DLLs:
That integration test used the same CUDA-facing LibTorch training workload that originally motivated this project. See docs/VALIDATION.md.
This does not mean every CUDA program or AI model works. CUDA API/library coverage is workload-dependent.
Install a current AMD GPU driver and the AMD HIP SDK for Windows including HIP Libraries.
The validated reference uses HIP SDK 6.4. Newer versions may work but should be treated as unverified until reported.

The launcher stages the required ZLUDA compatibility DLLs beside the target application and sets the HIP/ROCm runtime paths for that run.
