      CUDA was not mostly ‘built’ by them. It was originally built on top of technology acquired by a company called Aegia. Aegia built an ASIC and a physics engine that could run instructions for the ASIC, called “PhysX” and that team ported their toolchain to run on GPUs and other ASICs.

        CUDA was initially released in 2007, and Aegia was acquired in 2008. It would be extremely dishonest to not say that CUDA is what it is today due to Nvidia.

        I get that hating on big corpos is cool on this platform, but there’s no need to warp reality just to talk smack about them.
