    News Nvidia bans using translation layers for CUDA software to run on other chips — new restriction apparently targets ZLUDA and some Chinese GPU makers

    No way nVidia will open source or increase interoperability of CUDA. Their market cap is where it's at because of CUDA. It would be like Apple tearing down their walled garden. It would wreck their revenue and invite a shareholder lawsuit. Companies like AMD embrace open source because they...
