CUDA could be present on ATI cards?
Bill Dally, nVIDIA’s chief scientist released an interview to Techradar, in which he mentions the possibility of the CUDA technology being supported also by ATI video cards. Quoting directly from the website: “In the future you’ll be able to run C with CUDA extensions on a broader range of platforms,so I don’t think that will be a fundamental limitation.”
Although ATI’s name wasn’t directly mention, the choice of removing obstacles that limit the CUDA development and distribution could be a true possibility, and it would give room also to ATI video cards. Bill Dally has also mentioned Brook, the programming language that AMD Stream uses, indicating it as one of the biggest reasons for the limitations the ATI solution has.
Dally obviously takes the time to praise his own company: according to him, the graphic cards produced by nVIDIA are definitely better. Do you agree with that?
