NVIDIA CUDA Alternatives

NVIDIA CUDA is described as 'Parallel computing platform and programming model designed for GPU acceleration, enabling faster application performance using thousands of GPU cores' and is an app in the system & hardware category. There are three alternatives to NVIDIA CUDA for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Android, BSD and FreeBSD apps. The best NVIDIA CUDA alternative is AMD ROCm, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like NVIDIA CUDA are OpenCL and ZLUDA.
