A couple of years ago, Intel has lamented that NVIDIA’s CUDA technology will be obsolete in the near future – a technology that is still alive and kicking. In fact, NVIDIA has further increased the availability of Jen-Hsun Huang's low level virtual machine (LLVM) based compiler, simply by making it an open source code that can be downloaded through NVIDIA.

The low level virtual machine (LLVM) based compiler that is the basic building block of the CUDA technology, has proven its worth, as the LLVM was used in several supercomputers for parallel computing purposes. And judging by the fact that the CUDA compiler is now open source, I’m guessing that this will spruce another technological revolution, as it more programming languages and processors (x86 or otherwise) might opt to include it into their architectures. Perhaps any ordinary people can now build a super-large parallel supercomputer at their backyard?
