That's right. On the other hand,
1. Nvidia hardware is pervasive, and CUDA has been around for
many years. I doubt it is going away anytime soon.
2. It is little effort on our part to support it.
3. We'd have some co-marketing opportunities with Nvidia if we
support it.
If NVIDIA wants full support for NPP, cuBLAS, and the myriad of
libraries depending on the Runtime API then it's more effort.
