    NVIDIA Has Someone Working On Nouveau CUDA Support

    Phoronix: NVIDIA Has Someone Working On Nouveau CUDA Support

    The shocker of the day is that aside from an independent (non-NVIDIA) open-source developer working on Nouveau SPIR-V support is that there's an actual NVIDIA employee working towards CUDA compute support atop the open-source Nouveau graphics driver...

    Michael knows something that we don't know.

    I can feel it.

          Agree. Don't have much expectations from Nvidia

            Same here.
            Although (thought experiment to follow). nouveau being gallium based, how would they go about implementing CUDA for nouveau? AFAIK the answer is "State tracker"; which is shared between drivers. CUDA could become cross vendor in OSS world...
            Oh, and hell is apparently freezing over...

              As a FOSS proponent you sould rather ask for proper OpenCL support for NVidia GPUs than promoting CUDA.

                I'm not trying to promote CUDA, I'm simply trying to see something positive in this move...

                  Why would a tegra user want or need CUDA?

                    NVIDIAs newest Tegra chips aren't only for mobile platforms, but also targeted at the automotive market for computer vision, self driving cars etc. For that you need CUDA.

                    I'm pretty sure there won't be CUDA support for GeForce cards, because they'd have to enable power management and reclocking for these cards first.
