CUDA , does someone know it?

[Albitex]

CUDA is the new programming language for the GPUs NVidia.
With it we can write code to use to the best the GPUs.
In theory a rising of the performances should be had in the parallel elaboration.
This could be a way for "to push" the chess engines.
But I have read unfavorable declarations to the respect of the practical utility for the chess engines.
Does someone know something to the respect?
Has someone tried to use CUDA with the GPUs for the chess?

I am actually on my way to implement a Chess Engine using CUDA technology (and so nVidia's GeForce GPU), and as there's drawbacks and problems to implement "classical" algorithms, there's may ways to rewrite them to this architecture.

You should read my http://blog.cudachess.org, where I share ideas and CUDA technology work-around. I will disclose sources on SVN ASAP.
