Some ISAs can be way more effective at some parts of the problem than others, while still not being an optimum for the entire problem.

That's why your computer has a GPU.



Can it run on a gpu so to abstract always cuda


I imagine it can't (that would be way too good, everybody would be using it already). I also don't think there are many examples of supercomputers with diverse ISAs today.

But a system like this is a requisite for non-uniform computers to exist. Thus it must exist without the other, at least for a while.
