If it doesn’t have an OS, how does it…run? Is it just connected to a host machine and used like a giant GPU?

- StressedDev 1y agoYou can run software on bare metal without an OS. The downside is you have to write everything. That means drivers, networking code, the process abstraction (if you need it), etc. One thing to remember is an operating system is just another computer program.
- laidoffamazon 1y agoAt that point, you'd call the software stack an OS and not declare it to not have an OS
- rbanffy 1y agoDo GPUs have OSs? Or is it the host computer that sets up memory with data and programs and starts the processing units running?
