The title here, although it matches that of the linked page, conveys little information to anyone who doesn't already know what it's about.

("Modern GPU is code and commentary intended to promote new and productive ways of thinking about GPU computing. This project is a library, an algorithms book, a tutorial, and a best-practices guide.")

Perhaps something like "Modern GPU: NVIDIA's guide to making effective use of CUDA"?

So how do I use this with the new and modern Radeon HD7990 card?

Hmm looks like there is no CUDA library for it...

(flagging post for misleading title)

Totally agree. However every single time I've tried to editorialize a title like this one to make it better the mods have changed it back to the page's title. I imagine a lot of people have given up on even trying to make informative titles. It's the worst part about this forum in my opinion.

This is clearly an amazing resource on advanced GPU programming regardless of programming language.

To the best of my knowledge, CUDA is Nvidia only. You would need to look at OpenCL or something similar. I guess the techniques presented in the article could be ported to OpenCL.

Guide looks very well written, and I'm actually studying parallel programming right now...bookmarked.

Side Note: Maybe this is Nvidia's way to promote sales, since AMD cards sold like crazy cause of the mining craze.
