ZLUDA is a software that lets you run CUDA programs, originally made for NVIDIA GPUs, on AMD Radeon RX 5000 series and newer GPUs without changing the programs. It aims to give near-native performance on non-NVIDIA hardware, making CUDA applications more accessible. Currently, ZLUDA is still being developed and mainly supports Geekbench tests, so it might not work perfectly with all applications yet. It works on Windows and Linux but not on MacOS. If you have an AMD GPU and want to try running CUDA apps without an NVIDIA card, ZLUDA could be very useful as it opens up more hardware options for CUDA software[3][5].
