The question is not about the head count. How many software engineers at nvidia produce software that is expected run/compile on the host CPU of the customer, like this library ? I expect not too much.

I did not say the library controls anything, Nvidia controls the library : its features, its roadmap, its bugs corrections, development efforts (people) etc. All these choices are made by Nvidia. It is not just another tool , it is the tool

Sorry, related to cpu and host memory , I was wrong. I meant : having the GPU seller control/write code that plays with host cpu and memory is bad. Let people use their own gcc/g++ or whatever compiler and publish the specs. Unles

Again, I see what you mean. I am even against nvidia advising the developers to use such or such C++ library (be it GNU). It is not their role to do that. We need smarter and more shining GPUs from nvidia, not software. I would say .... Th

IMHO, the question is not that we need code to run on CPUs and GPUs , we do need that, The question is whether the GPU seller has to control both sides. Until I buy a CPU from nvidia I want to keep some kind of independence. When will we b

Raspberry Pi is not marketed for graphics as nvidia is doing with their GPUs. What I mean is that firmware is running on a usually small cpu and memory that is sold as a part of the GPU. No security issues here as the main security issue i

A lot of hardware has builtin software, either inside a firmware or as a driver. Keeping the software part in firmware lets customer free to use any kind of OS. Using host cpu and memory is bad design IMHO.

Agree++. They are good at hardware and should stay that way.

I really do not understand why a (very good) hardware provider is willing to create/direct/hint custom software for the users. Isn't this exactly what a GPU firmware is expected to do ? Why do they need to run software in the
