Use of cuda in World Wind Challenge?

[vishal.tiwari]

Hi,

I am thinking of taking part in this years world wind challenge, and I have a query regarding the use of cuda for our application. As cuda is not an open-source library, but can be used for free, so can we use it in our application?

Thanks and regards,

Vishal, glad you asked. Yes of course.
'Your' app just needs to be open source, something that others can extend.
Since the additional libraries you plan to use are free, even if not open source, that sounds like a fine thing to do.
There is already another Europa Challenge project using CUDA, http://eurochallenge.como.polimi.it/projects2015, check out GeoSim.
We are looking forward to your project! Buona Fortuna!!!
Maybe we'll see you in Como Italy this July.
