There haven’t been any as successful, but there have been competitors. OpenCL, DirectX come to mind.



SYCL is the latest attempt that I'm aware of. It's still pretty active and may just work as it doesn't rely on video card manufactures to work out.


SYCL is the quasi-successor to OpenCL, built on the same flavor of SPIR-V. Various efforts are trying to run it on top of Vulkan Compute (which tends to be broadly support by modern GPU's) but it's non-trivial because the technologies are independently developed and there are some incompatibilities.
