One of the core challenges brought by heterogeneous computing is programming model fragmentation: CUDA, OpenCL, SYCL, oneAPI and others each cover different hardware, and developers need to re-express algorithms and tune them for each target.

UnverifiedMany in-house chips ultimately end up used only for specific internal tasks rather than fully replacing NVIDIA GPUs, due to the software adaptation barrier of the CUDA ecosystem.73% similarVerifiedNVIDIA's CUDA framework allows developers to control how hardware allocates and processes tasks, distributing work across different nodes and worker threads to achieve parallel computing.73% similarUnverifiedHand-written CUDA kernels have a high barrier to entry and poor portability, while general-purpose compilers struggle to approach the limits of hand-tuned optimization in all scenarios, making DSLs a viable compromise.73% similarUnverifiedNVIDIA's moat is not just the software API, but also the deep co-optimization between hardware and compiler; reverse engineering can make CUDA programs "run" on non-NVIDIA hardware, but achieving "fast and stable" operation is exponentially harder.72% similarUnverifiedSoftware written for AI workloads is increasingly moving away from CUDA and toward more general higher-abstraction layers that allow code to run on any hardware.71% similar
