I think Nvidia with their 512 core Xavier chip is also taking some of Intels thunder.
I wonder how long before bits of linux are running on the GPU? Once the process of porting to GPU more and more code will run there.
- dom0 10y agoI very much doubt that. Of course someone might do it for kicks, but not for serious use; GPUs already have a task scheduler built into them, and compute cores don't like branching code - less so if it only needs a couple cores, like a general-purpose OS. There is little reason to waste them (and compromise efficiency) for Linux or any other OS.
