I would be much more impressed if they opensourced their kernel driver for Linux graphics, much like AMD did with AMDGPU, and made it work with nouvou.
The good news: It's open-source
The bad news: Uses PyTorch (therefore CUDA) and requires an NVIDIA card.
NVIDIA - fooling the open-source community since 1993
Pytorch requires you to explicitly put your tensors on the GPU. The advantage to to such an action is that it speeds up training by ~50x in my experience (3900x vs. 2080). You can't hate on nvidia for developing a highly sophisticated API for parallel linear algebra. Do I wish it was open sourced? Yes. Would that reduce their profits? Absolutely.
..well If I start to read Nvidia and OpenSource in an article it dissappoints me.
There are two schemes played by them:
1. Nvidia pretends it is foss but it is not if you look at the details.
2. the opensource community wants support but it is denied or crippled by Nvidia.
