Cuda is a bit different than ATI's CTM (Close To Metal). Interesting read.

Inpart:
"Clearly, there are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches, and both approaches ultimately represent attempts by NVIDIA and AMD/ATI to get people who need this sort of GPU-driven math coprocessing power to standardize on one or the other vendor's hardware. Both of these moves are also about building an application base around existing GPU hardware before Intel moves into the market with whatever it's planning to unleash, so that Chipzilla (ideally) finds that the existing customers for GPUs-as-coprocessors are already tied to either AMD/ATI or NVIDIA."
