Cool to see research in that field, I realized this year that for gaming GPU and VRAM were actually more important than CPU and RAM, it probably tells something about underusage of GPU in general computing.

There's one big blocker as far as I can tell, though: portability. When it comes to gaming, neural networks, cryptomining, etc, I always see "only nvidia cards supported", or "work best on amd". If we were to use GPU in just any kind of application, we would need to have hardware abstraction library which support any kind of GPU, including intel chips.

Is such effort already being worked on, at any stage of completion?
