cuda-morph is designed to enable seamless execution of PyTorch workloads on non-NVIDIA hardware with minimal code changes. This innovative compatibility layer ensures that existing CUDA-based PyTorch scripts continue to function without the need for significant rewrites. By redirecting calls to available backends or falling back to CPU, cuda-morph streamlines the machine learning development process, enhancing productivity and efficiency in deploying models across diverse hardware platforms.

Key Features

• Zero-Rewrite Activation: Users can activate many existing CUDA-style PyTorch flows without rewriting code.
• Flexible Backend Routing: Automatically routes based on available hardware, including support for Ascend, ROCm, Intel XPU, and CPU fallbacks.
• Command-Line Interface (CLI): Includes tools for environment checks, porting hints, and script validation to ensure compatibility.
• Ecosystem Compatibility: Offers patches for essential libraries to facilitate integration with cuda-morph, further easing the transition to non-NVIDIA hardware.

How It Works

1. Begin with existing CUDA-oriented codebase.
2. Activate the cuda-morph layer.
3. Run the code with optimal backend-aware routing.

Example Usage

To install the package, run:

pip install cuda-morph

Then, activate compatibility in your code:

import ascend_compat
ascend_compat.activate()

# Existing CUDA-style code remains unchanged
model = model.cuda()

Validation and Backends

cuda-morph has undergone rigorous testing with over 460 tests passing in CPU fallback mode. Users can verify compatibility on various hardware platforms and view a comprehensive matrix of supported capabilities for each backend.

Diagnostic Tools

Utilize the CLI tools to assess compatibility and optimize code for different hardware setups:

cuda-morph check model.py  # Check script for compatibility issues
cuda-morph port model.py   # Generate porting suggestions
