We haven’t yet released support for tcgen05, but we’ll deal with it the same way we deal with other inline PTX: parsing it and converting it to target-appropriate instructions toge…

We actually support NVIDIA hardware, too. In some benchmarks, SCALE beats nvcc, and we have compiler optimizations in the pipeline that will improve those numbers over time. > If a…

Very interesting, thank you for sharing! We do believe in open source software and we do want to move the GPGPU market away from fully closed languages. The future is open for disc…

We're still thinking about our approach but this is a nice suggestion, thank you. I'm curious, for what reasons are you interested in the source code yourself?

SCALE is not a "translation layer", it's a full source-to-target compiler from CUDA-like C++ code to AMD GPUs. See this part of the documentation for more details regarding warp si…

Comment #40971058
We have not reverse engineered any compiled code in the process of developing SCALE. It was clean-room implemented purely from the API surface and by trial-and-error with open CUDA…

We're going to be publishing more details on later blog posts and documentation about how this works and how we've built it. Yes, we're not open source, however our license is very…
