you are right, that's not what i'm asking. amd and nvidia produce drivers for their cards. those drivers appear to be written in c, to get close to the hardware. they may even use an assembly language for part of the code to control them.

in order to create drivers for those cards using java, would a jvm need to be created for the processors and cards.

the idea here is to eliminate the use of c.
