I assume you mean Lua :) Given OpenCL is based on C99, and the current
reference implementation is based on LLVM, I suspect all that's needed
is a wrapper and a few tweaks. Shouldn't be too difficult.
I'm having trouble imagining a situation where there'd be a significant
performance boost from running an interpreted general-purpose language
on your GPU, though. They're really only any good at highly parallel
workloads.
