Zluda 6 release (run unmodified CUDA applications on non-Nvidia GPUs)

ZLUDA 6 has been released, enabling users to run unmodified CUDA applications on non-Nvidia GPUs. This update covers work from the first two quarters of 2026 and includes improvements to compatibility and performance for running CUDA software on alternative hardware.

Background

ZLUDA is an open-source compatibility layer that lets CUDA applications (software written for NVIDIA GPUs) run on GPUs from other vendors (primarily AMD, also Intel) without modifying the original code. It translates CUDA instructions at runtime into the target GPU's native API (ROCm for AMD, oneAPI for Intel).
