Sir, you contradict yourself - CUDA is software and NVIDIA invested in CUDA long time before anybody believed it would take off.

- arcanus 9y agoCuda is a GPGPU paradigm. It was certainly not an investment in machine learning.
- dragandj 9y agoBut all major Deep Learning frameworks use Nvidia-s cuDNN library. They provide lots of sugar, but the central thing is developed (or paid for if you prefer) by Nvidia.
- nightski 9y agoSeeing as this https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn exists and is widely used I'd say that isn't really true.
- frozenport 9y agoA lot of people thought it woukd take off! Hell people were doing GPGPU with ps2!
- DannyBee 9y agoUh, no. Lots of people invested in things like cuda at roughly the same time. CUDA was also very clearly built to enable general fast math computation, and AI came much much much later As GP says, this is some interesting revisionist history. NVidia figured this out at the same time as everyone else.
- llukas 9y agoI still can run early CUDA programs unmodified. This is investment. edit: on newest hardware, without recompilation
