There is a chance if you are able to run Pharo on that platform and support python wrappers for CUDA (python is already support for CUDA for regular nvidia GPUs but I dont know about this platform ) you could use my Atlas lib to access Cuda from Pharo. Atlas is a library I am making that allows you to use Python libraries from Pharo and its code I use for my project Ephestos to control Blender the 3d app.   

Not as cool or powerful / flexible as having an actual Pharo wrapper but it could be a good replacement till such library arrives. 

There is also Pharo wrappers for OpenCL by another Pharo developer , if this platform support OpenCL (it seems that it currently it does not) it may be possible to modify the wrappers to support this platform as well.
