CUDA with D?

Short answer: no.

I looked into writing CUDA with D a while back.  The problem is that the 
CUDA C runtime and the D runtime are 100% incompatible.  CUDA works by 
taking C-like code and compiling it with a special NVCC compiler, which 
emits code that's specifically for NVIDIA GPUs.

I found that it would be *possible* to take NVCC and write a D-frontend 
for it (The MathWorks did it for their MATLAB language), but that was a 
lot more work that I was willing to do in order to do stupid things like 
see how fast my graphics card can count to a million.

I hope you have better luck!  Maybe something has changed... maybe an 
LLVM->NVCC bridge (so you could take the LDC frontend and plug it into 
NVCC and there you go?  I don't know, it'd be cool, but I *highly* doubt 
it exists).
