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...
Yes I believe that would be true if the OS was developed for Workstations. The only commitment I see from Oracle is Servers and Databases. Would CUDA help there?
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."
Illumos will hopefully move in a somewhat Desktop/Workstation direction. But I don't see that for at least 3 months until they get the building process streamlined, then they can focus on enhancing it.
