Ekuqaleni kuka-Okthoba ngonyaka odlule, sabelana ngolwazi lapha kubhulogi mayelana indlela uZLUDA azoyithatha, Iphrojekthi ka-Andrzej Janik, ekuqaleni eyayivunywe yi-AMD ukuthi ingene esizindeni somphakathi futhi eyabe isihoxisa yacela ukuthi ihoxiswe.
Kusukela ngo-2022, U-Andrzej ubesebenza kwa-AMD ukuthuthukisa ungqimba oluhambisanayo olungavumela ama-AMD GPU ukuthi asebenzise izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-CUDA, ubuchwepheshe obusetshenziswa kabanzi ekufundeni komshini kanye nemisebenzi yekhompyutha esebenza kahle kakhulu.
Intuthuko igxile ekuhlanganiseni i-CUDA nesitaki se-ROCm kanye nesikhathi sokusebenza se-HIP (I-Heterogeneous Interface yokuphatheka). Kodwa-ke, ngo-2024, iphrojekthi yamiswa, okwaholela u-Andrzej ukuvula umthombo wekhodi eyakhiwe ngaphansi kohlaka lomsebenzi wakhe e-AMD, ngemuva kokuthola imvume evela kummeleli wenkampani.
Ngaphandle kwalokhu, ngo-Okthoba, wabhekana nokuhlehla ngokomthetho, njengoba ngencwadi evela kubameli benkampani (AMD) kwacaciswa ukuthi imvume enikezwe ngokubhalelana nge-imeyili ayinakho ukusebenza okusemthethweni. Lokhu kwaphoqa u-Andrzej ukuthi ahoxise ikhodi wokufinyelela komphakathi, okuthinta okwesikhashana ukuqhubeka kwephrojekthi.
Kodwa manje, kusibuyekezo sakamuva, u-Andrzej Janik wabelane ngenqubekelaphambili kuphrojekthi ye-ZLUDA kusukela ekuthunyelwe kwakhe kokugcina. Uhlelo olusha "ZLUDA 4" luphawula indawo yokuqala kabusha okubalulekile kuphrojekthi ngemuva kokuqedwa kwekhodi ehlobene nesikhathi sakhe e-AMD.
I-ZLUDA 4 iqala kabusha manje okusekelwe kuphela kukhodi eyakhiwe ngaphambi komsebenzi wakhe kwa-AMD, okuyinto iyayihlukanisa nanoma yimiphi imikhawulo yenkontileka yangaphambilini. Le nguqulo entsha igxile ekuvumeleni ukusebenzisa izinhlelo ze-CUDA ku-AMD hardware, nezinhlelo zesikhathi esizayo zokuzivumelanisa ne-Intel GPUs, ukuqinisekisa ukuthi iphrojekthi ihlala ivulekile futhi igxile ekwandiseni ukufinyeleleka kwe-CUDA kumapulatifomu ahlukahlukene.
Kushiwo lokho I-ZLUDA 4 ibhalwe ngeRust futhi yethula ukuthuthukiswa okuningana kwezobuchwepheshe, okuhlanganisa umhlaseli omusha we-PTX, ulimi olumaphakathi olusetshenziswa i-NVIDIA kuma-GPU ayo.
Sanibonani nonke, lesi ngesokuqala kweziningi ezibuyekeziwe ze-ZLUDA. Bengisebenza kanzima futhi ngiyajabula ukumemezela ukuthi sifinyelele ingqopha-mlando yokuqala: sinenguqulo entsha ye-ZLUDA enohlelo lokusebenza olusebenzayo. I-ZLUDA ingasebenzisa i-Geekbench 5.
Lesi sibuyekezo sihlanganisa namagama athile mayelana nendlela yokunikela (Nikela ku-ZLUDA) kanye nezinguquko ngaphakathi kwe-ZLUDA "entsha" (I-Analyzer Entsha, Imojuli Ye-Atomic).
Futhi, ukulingiswa kwemiyalo ethile ye-NVIDIA GPUs kususiwe ukuze uthole imisebenzi yokwenyuka kwemojuli kanye nokwehla, esikhundleni salokho kufakwe imiyalo yomdabu evela kuma-AMD GPU. Lokhu kulungiselelwa kobuchwepheshe kusivumele ukuthi sithuthukise ukusebenza ekuhlolweni okufana ne-Geekbench 5 cishe ngo-10%, uma kuqhathaniswa nokusebenzisa i-OpenCL kanye negatsha langaphambilini, i-ZLUDA 3 (nakuba kuthiwa lokhu kuthuthukiswa kokusebenza kuqondene ne-Geekbench futhi akukwazi ukwenziwa jikelele).
Ngokungafani nezinguqulo zayo zangaphambilini, I-ZLUDA 4 isekelwe kuphela kukhodi eyakhiwe ngaphambi kwesikhathi sika-Andrzej Janik e-AMD, ngaleyo ndlela iqinisekise ukuthi ayixhumene nemisebenzi yangaphambilini evikelwe ngamalungelo enkontileka. Yize okwamanje ikhawulelwe kuma-AMD GPUs, iphrojekthi ihlela ukwelula ukwesekwa kwayo kuma-Intel GPUs ngokuzayo.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, u-Andrzej Janik ubalula ukuthi iphrojekthi okwamanje isekelwa ngokwezentengiselwano futhi ayamukeli iminikelo, yamukela kuphela izicelo zokudonsa kanye neminye iminikelo engeyona eyemali.
Yingakho kulabo abathanda ukufaka isandla ekulungiseni ikhodi noma ukubuyekezwa kwemibhalo, kwanele ukuvula isicelo sokudonsa.
Ekugcineni, kufanele kushiwo lokho Njengamanje iphrojekthi isesigabeni sokuqala yentuthuko futhi ngalokho, inhloso enkulu ukuthi i-ZLUDA "entsha" ifinyelele esimweni esifana nalesi eyayinaso ngaphambi kokuhlehla kungakapheli unyaka owodwa (ikota yesithathu ka-2025).
Ukwengeza, kushiwo ukuthi intuthuko yamanje igxile kuma-AMD GPU, kodwa inhloso yesikhathi esizayo ye-ZLUDA entsha ukusekela izakhiwo eziningi ze-GPU.
Okokugcina, uma ungathanda ukwazi okwengeziwe ngakho, ungathintana nemininingwane ku isixhumanisi esilandelayo.
