If the content expands beyond a small single page sure that starts to
make sense. His argument was funny, at least in my mind. (Don't take
my comments so seriously)

Since CUDA is an NVIDIA tm and not even an "open" standard - it may
make sense to call the project "gpgpu" or something more generic. This
also opens the door to expand it for other related programming models
in the future. I'm not a lawyer, but there may be some rules about
claiming "cuda compatibility" as well.

To expand on the above - Is sema/parsing and maybe functional tests
being added for cuda syntax? (I realize the functional testing would
be more tricky to setup)
