OpenCL works pretty well. Can't say I notice large gaps of performance between CUDA and openCL for my hpc work.

Thankfully for a good chunk of number crunching that works fine. But the other side of the coin is notably AI workloads. There's no OpenCL or Vulkan standard for exposing matrix units, only vendor specific ones.

For OpenCL: cl_qcom_ml_ops (Qualcomm) notably, for Vulkan: VK_NV_cooperative_matrix (NVIDIA)

Have you done any benchmarks with vulkan?
No I haven't used vulkan for compute.
