It's not just gpu/driver, it's library versions, compile flags, compiler versions plus all the flags (static and dynamic).
Let's say 50 options. If it costs $1 to test each combo it would cost 2^50, around $10^15 dollars. Google only made $10^9 dollars profit last year.
Now of course I'm being facetious but do not underestimate the cost of testing.
- dleslie 8y agoThat cost assessment is bizarre. Consider how many variants are there in the entire Google software library; somehow I doubt they're spending trillions on testing.
