Привет!

Если кому вдруг интересно: Хаббард нынче подался в Nvidia.
В закрытом листе developers@freebsd.org случайно зашел
разговор об этом и он (jordanh@nvidia.com, jkh@nvidia.com)

I definitely want to look into the state of FreeBSD support @ Nvidia today
and how various big CSPs who use FreeBSD (like Netflix) might be able
to leverage additional GPU libraries, like CUDA, were they offered
for FreeBSD. As with most things, the economic arguments are always
the loudest, so if anyone on the CC line is in a position to help make
that argument, please don.t hesitate to reach out privately.

I'm gratified, at least, to see that the GeForce driver code for FreeBSD
still appears to be getting some level of maintenance (I see Nvidia
changelog entries from Feb 2020, anyway) but I don't have any hands-on
experience with it. True confession time: I've been such a die-hard Mac user
for so long now that I literally don't own a single "PC" at the moment
(all of my non-MacOS workloads, including FreeBSD, being virtualized),
but I'm about to rectify that shortly with a really beefy PC build + top line
Nvidia GFX hardware so I'll also being trying a bare-metal install
of FreeBSD + Nvidia driver on it (that'll be a blast from the past!)
and see how the pieces currently fit together.
