It uses an NVIDIA apis, its made for NVIDIA tasks (CUDA) and it was only ever designed to work on NVIDIA cards. Apparently being a Facebook employee means you can't have pro-NVIDIA anti-anything else intentions... even when that's clearly the case.
- mroche 6y agoApparently being a Facebook employee means you can't have pro-NVIDIA anti-anything else intentions... even when that's clearly the case. That’s being a tad disingenuous. Developing a solution to an in-house use case while ignoring alternative platforms that you don’t use does not make one “anti-anything else”. For a business of Facebook’s scale (or any scale for that matter), would you or your manager approve of spending time on such a task? Unless it was simple, there was enough time, or there were known potentials of switching product lines, I would venture to guess: no. However, trying to upstream such work without considering where it’s going in which the very last patch review of 21 shows the problem isn’t the brightest idea.
