Today NVidia announced it’s “CUDA Ventures” Program. From their site:
NVIDIA is committed to supporting the vibrant ecosystem of developers that have adopted the CUDA GPU computing platform. We provide a combination of technical, operational and financial resources for enterprises that are enabling new usage models and advancing GPU computing.
One interesting tidbit there: they offer “financial resources”. What does this mean? According to The Register:
Nvidia wants to give you between $0.5m to $5m (£0.36 to £3.6m), plus partner with you on marketing, development, distribution, and more.
I guess that’s one way to push GPGPU development.
