Something like this (but OpenCL) for D sounds quite interesting.

Hopefully OpenCL's runtime will be compatible to D's:

 I looked into writing CUDA with D a while back.  The problem is that the
 CUDA C runtime and the D runtime are 100% incompatible.



I don't have any new information about the topic though. Maybe it works 
with druntime.

Yeah, OpenCL looks interesting. For example, they annotate variables with
either __global, __local or __private attributes, that are very close to D2
shared/TLS/unique.

Well, that's not quite right,
global : shared, accessible by the host
local  : restricted to a 'work-group', not accessible by the host
private: value-types on the function's stack

Umm... I've gotten D's and CUDA's runtime to play nice together.

Isn't there a dcuda project at team0xf? Not sure what state it's in, though.

I'd say OpenCL/DirectX Compute Shaders are the future... CUDA is only 
supported on NVIDIA, and as a proud ATI user, I must take exception.
