NVIDIA to make CUDA work on AMD GPUs?

Posted on Tuesday, June 30 2009 @ 17:31:21 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

TechRadar reports NVIDIA has hinted that it's working on a project to enable the company's CUDA technology on AMD GPUs:

At a recent roundtable event, Nvidia's chief scientist Bill Dally explained why a developer would write an app using C with CUDA extensions if it wouldn't work on AMD GPUs.

"In the future you'll be able to run C with CUDA extensions on a broader range of platforms," stated Dally, "so I don't think that will be a fundamental limitation."

Although Dally didn't name AMD outright, he added: "I'm familiar with some projects that are underway to enable CUDA on other platforms."
