It depends on what you're trying to do. If you want to get stuff done now then just get an Nvidia card and write CUDA. The tools and knowledge community are vastly ahead of other approaches.

If you're doing image-like stuff, Halide is good, there's lots of stuff shipping on it.

One other project I'd add is emu, which is built on wgpu. I think that's closest to the future I have in mind, but still in early stages.

okay in that case can you recommend a good tut for writing cuda code?

The official docs are pretty good. This is probably a good starting point: https://devblogs.nvidia.com/even-easier-introduction-cuda/

Nvidia also sponsored a Udacity course, but I don't have any direct experience with it: https://developer.nvidia.com/udacity-cs344-intro-parallel-pr...
