At least grounds for suing and starting an extensive discovery process and possibly a costly injunction...
- msond 2y agoWe have not reverse engineered any compiled code in the process of developing SCALE. It was clean-room implemented purely from the API surface and by trial-and-error with open CUDA code.
- RockRobotRock 2y agoIsn't that exactly what a "clean room" approach avoids?
- ekelsen 2y agooh definitely. But if I was NVIDIA I'd want to verify that in court after discovery rather than relying on their claim on a website.
- RockRobotRock 2y agogood point
- ekelsen 2y agoFWIW, I think this is really great work and I wish only the best for scale. Super impressed.
