    IIRC Zluda does support compiling PTX. My understanding is that this is part of why Intel and AMD eventually didn’t want to support it - it’s not a great idea to tie yourself to someone else’s architecture you have no control or license to.

    OTOH, CUDA itself is just a set of APIs and their implementations on NVIDIA GPUs. Other companies can re-implement them. AMD has already done this with HIP.
