CUDA or comparable would really be nice, but that totally depends
on NVIDIA support, and they clearly will not only refuse that for
solaris x64-x86, but will drop the entire driver support as soon
as Oracle pulls the plug on Solaris (which will happen in 2031).
It's a pity because it would probably be easy to compile the Linux
CUDA support already existing for Solaris, too.
