|That's the idea. It would be very good.

At this moment I don't know if this is a good idea, because CUDA is a 
language developped only for NVidia GPU's. One of the purposes of Ada I 
think is that a program can always be used on another computer with only the 
a simple recompilation. I would like a Pragma GPU( Ralph ) that can check 
which GPU is used and if that GPU has a CUDA like environment available.
