Impossible. GPGPU runtimes are too close to hardware, and the hardware is proprietary with many trade secrets. You need support from GPU vendors.
BTW, if you want reliable cross-vendor GPU, just use Direct3D 11 compute shaders. Modern videogames use a lot of compute, to the point that UE5 even renders triangle meshes with compute shaders. AMD hardware is totally fine, it’s the software ecosystem.
