Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Intel CEO: 'The entire industry is motivated to eliminate the CUDA market'
The two I know of are IREE and Kompute[1]. I'm not sure how much momentum the latter has, I don't see it referenced much. There's also a growing body of work that uses Vulkan indirectly through WebGPU. This is currently lagging in performance due to lack of subgroups and cooperative matrix mult, but I see that gap closing. There I think wonnx[2] has the most momentum, but I am aware of other efforts.

[P] - VkFFT version 1.3 released - major design and functionality improvements
Great to see the positive momentum of this framework! Best wishes and upvotes from the Vulkan Kompute team :)

VkFFT: Vulkan/CUDA/Hip/OpenCL/Level Zero/Metal Fast Fourier Transform Library
To a first approximation, Kompute[1] is that. It doesn't seem to be catching on, I'm seeing more buzz around WebGPU solutions, including wonnx[2] and more hand-rolled approaches, and IREE[3], the latter of which has a Vulkan back-end.

I'm Having Trouble Building this Library...
I look in an example and see similar instructions, stating that the build should be quite simple. But again, it doesn't work. It generates a bunch of folders with Visual Studio stuff, but no executables, no libraries, or anything like that.
I can't figure out how, and there are no tutorials. According to https://kompute.cc/overview/build-system.html I should simply run "cmake -Bbuild". But this doesn't output what I need, and when I look in the Makefile I get the sense that this is more an example Makefile... but then that contradicts the above tutorial.

How to properly construct an abstraction layer with Vulkan
Kompute is in my opinion good example to take inspiration for abstractions.
-
Vulkan for Image Processing? Good choice?
Currently, there's a few Vulkan compute frameworks floating around (like Kompute). I would work with those. Kompute simplifies a lot of the biolerplate and seems like you could benefit from using it.

Paralell computing project
Try Kompute, a project from the Linux foundation. It is quite simple to use, and does not require deep knowledge of graphics API. It’s a bit painful to setup, but it kinda works well (and I have a project going on on it)
-
Bootstrapping Vulkan for Scientific Compute Applications?
This so much.
-
[D] PyTorch is moving to the Linux Foundation
This makes alot of sense considering the Linux Foundation is also in charge of Kompute which is likely to be the basis of vendor agnostic GPGPU, and thus the basis of vendor agnostic GPU-based machine learning.

A Review of Shader Languages
The SPIR-V OpenCL profile is suitable, the Vulkan one is much less suitable. (In the you can’t even transpile OpenCL C 1.2 to it fully, with quite heavily limited pointers…)
Metal has the best GPGPU story of the compute APIs, with D3D12 coming second after that. Both at least can have OpenCL C transpiled without catches to them…
Microsoft is writing CLon12 on that front: https://github.com/microsoft/OpenCLOn12

WSL with CUDA Support
> OpenCL does not work. There's some bits about intel [& amd] GPUs, but nada on nvidia
This is planned to be fixed. WSL2’s GPU support currently doesn’t provide a path to provide an alternate OpenCL loader ICD location. (And not for OpenGL either)
Microsoft is developing CLon12 at https://github.com/microsoft/OpenCLOn12 as the option to provide OpenCL out of the box.

Cross Platform GPU-Capable Framework?
OpenCL really is your best bet for a cross-platform GPU-capable framework. OpenCL 3.0 cleared out a lot of the cruft from OpenCL 2.x so it's seeing a lot more adoption. The most cross-platform solution is still OpenCL 1.2, largely for MacOS, but OpenCL 3.0 is becoming more and more common for Windows and Linux and multiple devices. Even on platforms without native OpenCL support there are compatibility layers that implement OpenCL on top of DirectX (OpenCLOn12) or Vulkan (clvk and clspv).
What are some alternatives?
