The implementation allows many NVIDIA CUDA applications to run on AMD ROCm stack without modifying the source code. However, it has some limitations, such as incomplete NVIDIA OptiX support and inability to handle software not using PTX assembly code. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
