    Isn't this dangerous? Scripts with and without comments don't behave the same. Invariant violation.

    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…

    I have nothing against the library itself, rather the fact that it is made by the hardware provider. Good or not, It looks like a marketing goodie given away by the manufacturer. H…

    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 …

    > You don't think developers should be able to write C++ code for the GPU? To be clear, I don't think nvidia-paid developers should be able to write C++ Code for a nvidia-sold GPU.…

    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++…

    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 …

    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 …

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

    Comment #24527126

    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…
