there is alsoa similar API for AMD products.(as you noted) the scale is for any intents and purposes the same, nvidia is a bit easier to set up but amd allows for asysmetric multi gpu use(you have a 2 year old amd card and one of their newest beasts, well the old and new can function in crossfire together, plug and play)
as far as i understand the API uses the same pipelines used for physics calucaltions in games as well, where nvidia probably has more work put into the cuda core design.
i set up a system for a friend who is educating herself as a molecular biologist, she wanted to speed up her simulations to an acceptable level when she did them at home,
using 2 older amd cards and a new one actually gave her quite the boost, she went from 6-10 hours of simulation down to about 2-3.
