-- risc-v was created to support data parallel / vector codes, even though the open thing is what took off, and all sorts of cool stuff being built (not an expert but def a fan!)
-- ... but the reason nvidia >> amd, intel, google tpu in practice is the compounding ecosystem investment over the years: compilers, libs, and now, even rest of the chip/network . Ex: Intel & AMD & IBM tried to push OpenCL for example soon after CUDA, yet ~no one runs AI stuff that way, the ecosystem just isn't there in practice.
