> How many GPUs would NVIDIA sell in the HPC market if it wasn't for CUDA and the various support libraries around it? We don't have to hypothesize about this. The HPC GPU market has multiple vendors, just look at how many HPC GPUs AMD or Intel are selling: AMD and Intel have ~0.8% or so market share. NVIDIA has >99%. Pretty much every review of HPC GPUs states that AMD GPUs are both faster and cheaper. So how come they don't sell? The answer is software.
