NVidia CUDA on ATI

[deweycd]

I was wondering if CUDA or something similar is available on ATI cards? I have heard a lot about folding@home and am interested if ATI can be used for folding or only NVidia.

folding at home can be used on either card, CUDA is an nvidia exclusive proprietary technology for GPGPU's

Performance wise I know awhile ago nvidia had a huge performance advantage over ati, but that may be in the past now.

Cuda can't be run on ATI cards. ATI's equivalent of CUDA is called Stream.
