Hello,

> Good start! It looks really nice to me.

We are working on fixing some of the bugs involved with this. Rootbeer
right now is very close to a new release with a new class loader that
greatly improves compilation time and CUDA C code generation
robustness. 41/60 test cases are passing on this alpha version.

Yes, you can use Rootbeer for any purpose free of charge and license
restrictions.

> Another one is about fault tolerance.

Right now after there is a segmentation fault in the CUDA on the GPU,
Rootbeer cannot recover. Normal Java exceptions are fine, but if the
compiler outputs invalid generated code and it has a fault, you must
restart the process.
