CUDA appears to have come out well before even OpenCL. I don't see why there would be expectation that nVidia would design their framework to work on a competitors product.
- andromeduck 6y agoCuda was also a response to ATI's own efforts at a proprietary effort which they eventually have up on.
- TomVDB 6y agoATI came out with CTM, which was just an assembler. CUDA was released a month or so after that. It was a full C compiler and already had a pretty large set of examples and library functions. I downloaded CUDA about the day it was released, and used it for real some months later when I bought a 8600 GT GPU. To call CUDA a response to CTM is too much praise for Nvidia, because it suggests that their response included cobbling a compiler and SDK in just a month. :-)
