    BTW... BIT_USER... An ASIC chip is... "Application Specific"... meaning whatever narrow computation it is trying to solve - that's *all* it does. It is not just narrow but single purpose to the nth degree. And really, that is just semantics. You cannot create an HPC that adds 2 + 2 (and only 2...

    I think I'm going to have to go with Matt on this one. Nvidia itself didn't realize it had an HPC strategy until 10 years ago. (see: Tesla G80). Even then they had a heads down focus on graphical end users. You simply cannot replicate that level of complex silicon overnight. Nvidia made a good...
