The sheer volume of work of 'just' creating and maintaining a C++-like compiler, highly performant cuBLAS, cufft, cuSOLVER, cuDNN with very high perf, all by their lonesome in closed source shows how far one would have to go to even eat parts of their lunch. We (who want a real alternative to NVIDIA) either find a way to pool global resources applicable to this level kind of effort on all new accelerator architectures, or we wait for them to stumble, Intel-like. Intel and AMD not pooling their resources on this is self-defeating.
