Vediamo come va a finire ora!!!!!!!!!!

CUDA can now come to other processing architectures and even other non-NVIDIA GPUs.
This move isn't entirely surprising though based upon the growing presence of OpenCL and it becoming widely adopted across many CPU and GPU architectures.
While the CUDA compiler is now open-source, getting the actual source-code is a bit difficult at the moment. NVIDIA is making "qualified academic researchers and software tools developers" fill out a form, but when doing so you don't even have immediate access to the code. With that said, it's not known at the moment under which license NVIDIA is releasing the CUDA compiler.
NVIDIA announced this open-source move in a press release and comes just days after AMD open-sourced its IL code generator for OpenCL, which also utilizes LLVM.
