no, ocl, another way of gpu optimization ( not restricted to nvidia hardware )

also, do yourself a favour, and update to opencv2.4.7 ( all that gpu stuff seems to have been the major focus of the opencv devs lately )

Indeed, CUDA Technology is exclusive to NVIDIA devices, so ATI video cards doesn't support it.
However, OpenCV 2.4.3 was the first version to support OpenCL. There has been a considerable amount of changes to the ocl module since it was first released, so I suggest you upgrade to a more recent version.
You might be able to enjoy OpenCV's GPU processing if your ATI video card supports OpenCL.
