This project is by far too much for a gsoc student not to mention who 
would mentor it...  People throw around the term "GPGPU/CUDA" too much 
and don't realize that it breaks down into...

1) Kernel drivers (not ported to FreeBSD - see PSCNV.. There has other 
related things like drm, firmware. etc)
2) Runtime (do you need CUDA API, OpenCL.. etc)
3) Assembler
4) Code generation (ptx, direct isa.. which can be nv50, nvc0. etc)
5) Programming model (front-end which is typically CUDA/OpenCL or lesser 
known HMPP)
