If/when NVK becomes the defacto driver for nv GPUs, what would it mean for cuda?

I mean CUDA is probably never coming to Nouveau/NVK. Never say never still, the current focus is definitely on gaming though.
Yeah, that’s understandable; there’s probably a lot a proprietary stuff in the cuda sdk / driver.
Are you personally working on NVK? Terrific work if you are BTW! This is really positive progress
No, no. I have nothing to do with any kind of Linux dev unfortunately. I do want to start learning Vulkan though. XD
Also, just a stable accelerated desktop on install. Basic home/office and web/media consumption use.
Regarding cuda, yeah never know. Probably not for a long while as one of the benefits of their current driver is that it uses the same codebase between linux, freebsd and windows, so they should have feature parity in that regard. There are definitely pro/cons for their driver though.
