I wasn't refering to Illumos adding anything. I just mentioned, that nVIDIA
does write the driver for all versions of Solaris and that they are therefore
the focal point of contact, just like you mentioned. I only asked you, as you
are in good contact with nVIDIA and might have known anything about their
possible plans w.r.t. CUDA or OpenCL... ;-) But: I know: No Comment...;-)
And: Yes, if there's business, they'll do it, that's for sure...
But, like Adrian Cockcroft did twitter last night: "I predict that #illumos
will be just as irrelevant as Solaris has been for the last few
years. Legacy."
And that coming from Adrian, former Mr Solaris... ;-(
