This is something that NVidia could inependently deliver if they chose 
too.  In fact, Sun did have NVidia CUDA running in their labs for GPU 
accelerator purposes.

Eventually there will be a free open-sourced OpenCL implementation 
which could be ported to work on Solaris type systems.  See 
"https://www.khronos.org/opencl/resources/opencl-open-source-opencl-implementations".
