Hi, write a CUDA program + the MathLink templates, preprocess it with mprep and compile the output with nvcc. Install it in a Mathematica session and you are done ... But keep in mind, that if you can only parallelize 50 % of your code, than an infinite number of processors will speed up you calculation only by a factor of 2.
