There was a module that used CUDA to accelerate operations in the Linux kernel a few years ago (but the author knew better than to try to mainline it). I think it was this one: https://github.com/wbsun/kgpu/ https://github.com/wbsun/kgpu/

> Treating the GPU as a computing co-processor. I'm starting to get mildly disappointed about this paradigm. GPUs have the hardware for very powerful dynamic parallelism, yet only CUDA supports that (since no GPU driver of note supports more than OpenCL 1.x). I'd much rather see the GPU-CPU pair used as a pair of nodes that are linked with a high-speed interconnect (PCIe), yet APIs apart from CUDA never moved much beyond the compute model of OpenCL 1.2.
