Chinese company Moore Threads has upgraded its MUSA SDK to compete with NVIDIA in the AI market. The latest version, 4.0.1, works with Intel processors as well as several Chinese CPUs like Hygon, Kylin, and Loongson. This gives developers an alternative to NVIDIA's popular CUDA ecosystem.
The MUSA SDK helps run AI workloads on Moore Threads GPUs across different platforms. It comes with various tools, including runtime libraries, drivers, and instruction sets that make it compatible with existing systems. One key feature is MUSIFY, which lets developers port CUDA-based code directly to the MUSA ecosystem.
Moore Threads includes specialized libraries such as muBLAS, muFFT, and muThrust for math operations and accelerated computing. Though MUSA cannot match NVIDIA's capabilities, it offers a domestic option for Chinese developers. This allows smaller teams to access needed libraries without spending heavily on foreign hardware.
The move comes amid changing global politics that make it harder for Chinese tech companies to rely on American products like those from NVIDIA. Moore Threads hopes these improvements will increase the adoption of its software among local developers who want affordable options or prefer using technology made in China.
