In general, it translates instructions into something readable by whats accessing it. A popular translation layer on Lemmy is Proton. Its how the Steam Deck can play all those windows games.
Cuda is an Nvidia specific method for using a graphics card to do computation (not just graphics), like physics simulations.
Translation layers would let you use software designed for other graphics cards to work with Cuda, or to let Cuda software work on other graphics cards
Yeah fuck this.
… What’s a translation layer?

Got a Windows app you want to run on Linux? Wine and Proton are well known translation layers.
I guess Graphics Cards are similar. CUDA is basically the NVIDIA equivalent of .exe I think.

The clear answer. Thank you
I think it’s about translating cuda to ROCm instructions or something.
it’s stuff for using AI (like stable diffusion) to render images.EDIT : turns out I know jack shit
You’re thinking of transformers.
