#12This seems to simply be an implementation of the algorithm on the GPU. I'm not saying it isn't worth doing that. But a breakthrough? I wouldn't call it that. This won't allow faster chips. It's only a time saver.
Parallizing all important algorithms are necessary. For you it’s just a time saver, for NVIDIA it’s business and one more thing to add to it’s computational quasi monopoly.

My immediate thought was that they should have run this past any Spanish speaker in the company lol
I guess they all agreed it was a great name. Nvidia: my cuLitho brings all the boys to the lab and they're like it operates at the limits of Physics!

I'm a Spanish speaker and it doesn't sound funny to me. Slight differences in your native language are very distinctive, so I don't read "Culito" when I see it. Do you think Apple computers is too close to Asshole?
I bet you also didn’t see the hilariousness of “webOS” :)

#15Culitho means “ass” In Spanish.
Technically, does not mean anything. 1) th is not used in Spanish 2) th would be likely hispanized as z 3) taken literally would sound culit-jo If you ignore that you are left with "culito" which is ass + diminutive = small ass
In Spanish the H is silent, except with the C consonant (like in chat, champagne...).
So, Th would be pronounced like just T. For example, thermo and now culitho.

Everybody is different, but the 33800 laugh reaction in the Facebook post https://m.facebook.com/NVIDIADataCenter/photos/a.33432954734... (versus just 811 likes, 180 love, 115 surprise, 104 care and 14 sad reactions) suggests that most Spanish speakers read without the H.

And it's eyebrow-raising even if you say it with the H.

Thermo is a loan word that people hispanize as "termo" (the Spanish equivalent).

I didn't say it's not necessary. I didn't say it's not good business to do it. I even explicitly said it's worth doing which you have ignored for some reason.
I just disagree that this is a breakthrough.

Oh. I was not aware that Nvidia means envy... (Because people would envy your for the amazing 3D graphics?)
