BarraCUDA Open-source CUDA compiler targeting AMD GPUs

Wouldn't it funny and sad if a bunch of enthusiasts pulled off what AMD couldn't :)

Beautiful.

Wow!! Congrats to you on launch!

Seeing insane investments (in time/effort/knowledge/frustration) like this make me enjoy HN!!

(And there is always the hope that someone at AMD will see this and actually pay you to develop the thing.. Who knows)

Not familiar with CUDA development, but doesn't CUDA support C++ ? Skipping Clang/LLVM and going "pure" C seems to be quite limiting in that case.

Putting a registered trademark in your project's name is quite a brave choice. I hope they don't get a c&d letter when they get traction...
