CUDA support missing

Open x64x2 opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

I tried running my GPU-accelerated algorithms, expecting a smooth ride, but instead, I hit a roadblock, the os simply refuses to recognize my CUDA-enabled graphics card.

Steps to Reproduce:

Install SerenityOS on a machine with a CUDA-enabled GPU.

Attempt to run any CUDA-dependent application or code.

Watch in dismay as the os fails to utilize the GPU, resulting in slower performance.

Expected Behavior:

SerenityOS should detect and utilize CUDA-enabled GPUs seamlessly.

Actual Behavior:

It treats my GPU like a paperweight.

Severity

This bug is critical, no doubt about it. It cripples the performance of GPU-intensive applications, making OS less desirable

Suggested Fix:

Integrate CUDA support into OS, ensuring seamless utilization of GPU resources.

I like your enthusiasm, but Serenity doesn't support any graphics cards yet for rendering, let alone something like CUDA.

(I mean, I think there might be a Voodoo driver someone added to experiment with, but that card is ancient.)
