Could you build this?
No Bridging Apple Metal and NVIDIA CUDA via direct memory access (DMA) involves kernel drivers, PCIe interconnect protocols, or proprietary hardware communication that cannot be vibe-coded.
What it would actually take: This requires building custom PCIe kernel extensions on macOS and Linux or low-level DMA controller firmware to negotiate peer-to-peer (P2P) transfers across discrete GPU boundaries. The hard part is dealing with non-standard hardware topologies (Apple Silicon Unified Memory vs. PCIe discrete NVIDIA GPUs), proprietary CUDA IPC/GPUDirect protocols, and IOMMU mappings. It demands specialized OS kernel engineering, PCIe driver development, and hardware interconnect architecture experience.
