Hi,

That's a very good idea, and your article looks really good :)

I added some stuff about CUDA (I'm the maintainer of the
cuda-{toolkit,sdk} packages on the AUR) and Nvidia's OpenCL (not
familiar with it though). There is room for improvements, but it should
be enough for a start. HTH.

Should this page also mention some {CUDA,OpenCL}-accelerated apps or
language bindings such as PyCUDA and PyOpenCL?

Regards,
