Blender not choose CUDA over OpenCL. Just CUDA works, and there are problems with OpenCL. In fact, you can use OpenCL with Intel and nVidia in Cycles. With ATI too, but there are problems.
Blender needs AMD work with them to achieve a good performance in Cycles using OpenCL.

That looks like a nice thing to work on. I know that one netbook I maintain could definitely use such a performance boost on LibreOffice.
Also, hey, this is specifically for HSA, so most likely Bridgman is working on it himself.

blenderartists.org is much more active and with more users than any LibreOffice forum I know.

Forums are a very bad measure of activity. In order to do pretty much anything with Blender, you need to ask around on a forum. You don't need forums in order to achieve pretty much any tasks on LibreOffice.
libreoffice-calc leads by far.
As far as Cycles OpenCL goes: see http://phoronix.com/forums/showthrea...883#post330883
