In the old days we had these kinds of wars with cpu instruction sets & extensions (SSE, MMX, x64,). In a way I feel that CUDA should be opened up & generalized so that other manufacturers can use it too, the same way cpu's equalled out on most intruction sets. That way the whole world won't be beholden to one manufacturer (Big Green) and would calm down the scarcity effect we have now. I'm not an expert on gpu tech, would this be something that is possible? Is CUDA a driver feature or a hardware feature?
