If an inference stack depends heavily on CUDA dialects, migrating to other hardware or heterogeneous clusters requires rewriting low-level kernels, retuning, and revalidation, with engineering effort measured in person-years.

UnverifiedOne 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.75% similarUnverifiedThe tight coupling of the CUDA ecosystem (framework-library-hardware) means that switching hardware often means rewriting or re-tuning low-level kernels, creating an extremely high migration barrier.74% similarUnverifiedThe hardware ecosystem for large model inference has long been dominated by NVIDIA's CUDA ecosystem.74% similarUnverifiedCUDA kernels involve a large amount of parallel semantics and memory hierarchy details, and this information is difficult to fully recover at the assembly level, which is the main bottleneck of AI-assisted reverse engineering today.73% similarPartially VerifiedVKORE aims to rebuild a CUDA-like abstraction layer on NPUs, providing a unified training and inference interface upward and adapting to different vendors' NPU instruction sets downward, so that data centers can swap accelerators like swapping storage or network cards without rewriting model code, thereby breaking single-vendor lock-in.72% similar
