ARM needs to get some skin in the accelerator game before RISC-V et. al. commoditize its cash cow.

NVDLA is fairly permissively licensed (free for commercial use), but of course Nvidia will steer the greater ecosystem around it. Perhaps ARM can be the Red Hat to NVDLA's Linux, or something like that. Still seems a bit strange to me.

For their own sake sure. I look forward to RISC-V taking over a large part of the world ;-) The Esperanto chip looks so promising even without proprietary extensions.
