    CUDA IS the merit. They’ve been developing the software stack to make GPU programming accessible for 2 decades now. They’re a software company as much or more than they are a hardw…

    That’s for sRGB, which as for most colour spaces is defined relative to CIE XYZ, which is itself defined in terms of the perception of a “standard human observer”. In XYZ, the Y co…
