The interesting part is that this is less "CUDA now runs on RISC-V" and more "Nvidia is defining what a CUDA-capable RISC-V server has to look like."

That could end up being a pretty influential de facto server profile for the architecture.

CUDA is proprietary technology, guarded by patents and mostly closed-source. And its originator, NVIDIA, while being a member of the Khronos consortium, and technically supporting OpenCL, makes it much more difficult for you to do anything in OpenCL than in CUDA - even though it is sometimes almosy zero effort to enable some OpenCL equivalent (e.g. : Half-precision types. They exist in CUDA; in OpenCL on NVIDIA - you can't have them).

So, live with CUDA on other hardware? No thank you.

All these AI do is eat hot chip and lie

hot chips. hot planet.

Just make more RAM.
