I've linked CUDA with IDL (and GDL) using LINKIMAGE.

Essentially I write a C or C++ routine that wraps the CUDA routines
and then within IDL/GDL
call the LINKIMAGE procedure followed by the routine call.

Here are my Makefile entries for the GDL example:

CXX = g++
CXXFLAGS = -fPIC
NVCC = nvcc -Xcompiler "-m32" -Xcompiler "-fPIC" -deviceemu
LD = ld

INCLUDE = -I.
INC_CUDA = -I/CUDADIR/cuda/include -I/CUDADIR/NVIDIA_CUDA_SDK/common/
inc

LDFLAGS_CUDA = -lcuda -lcudart -lGL -lGLU -lcutil_PIC
LIB_CUDA = -L/GCCDIR/install/4.2.0/lib -L/CUDADIR/NVIDIA_CUDA_SDK/lib -
L/CUDADIR/NVIDIA_CUDA_SDK/common/lib

indx.so: indx.cpp indx.cu
${CXX} ${CXXFLAGS} -o indx.o -c indx.cpp
${NVCC} -o indx.cu_o -c indx.cu ${INCLUDE} ${INC_CUDA}
g++ -fPIC -shared -o indx.so indx.o indx.cu_o ${LIB_CUDA} $
{LDFLAGS_CUDA}


Here's the linkimage call within IDL/GDL:

linkimage,'indx','./indx.so',0,'indx'

I place the C++ wrapper entries in "indx.cpp" and the CUDA kernel in
"indx.cu"

I can provide more detailed information if you like.
