On the other hand it seems now Nvidia is distributing a Free GPU compatible library:
https://developer.nvidia.com/cusp

I never tried CUSP, but if you want to write a GPU package for Octave you may want to look into it.

But that is a completely different thing. That is an open source library of already implemented algorithms. You cant program a kernel and run it. What I want is to be able to run my own GPU code from octave. And for that access to the CUDA API is needed.
