Re: Quick Poll: Debian to better support hardware acceleration?



I'm a computer scientist working in AI and structural biology. I'm sorry to say that CUDA has slowly invaded a lot of our scientific pipelines, for Deep learning, convex optimization and molecular simulations.

I just could not vote for option 2 even if option 1 is tolerable (I'm using it).

Q: How far should Debian go along the way for supporting hardware
acceleration solutions like CUDA?

Choice 1: this game belongs to the big companies. we should offload
such burden to third-party providers such as Anaconda.
Choice 2: we may try to provide what the users need.
Choice 3: <write down yours>
I'm not a user of anything like it (as far as I know...), but it's
Debian's mission to make useful software available : choice 2.
