Curious, why use cuda and hip? These frameworks are rather opinionated about kernel design, they seem suboptimal for implementing a language runtime when SPIR-V is right there, particularly in the case of datalog.

What kind of SPIR-V? The SPIR-V used for compute shaders (Vulkan Compute) is totally different to the one for compute kernels (OpenCL and SYCL)...
