I just added a GSoC project proposal about adding a nVidia CUDA

It would be great if this physics engine or matrix library could run
on a CUDA enabled nVidia "graphics" card!

As Don said, we're working on that. However, this is a lot more work than just a summer project. The reason is that you can't run arbitrary NDP computations on the GPU, just a fairly restricted subset. This means that you need to decide what to put on the GPU during code generation which, in turn, means a significant amount of compiler hacking. It's really more than enough work for a PhD thesis.
