We'd be using it, probably not in production, but in research and teaching -- if it was operational. And, as George pointed out, I see a trend towards heterogeneity in HPC, to I'd say this feature will be rather more important in the future. > PS: This code has implications from the datatype engine till up in the > MPI layer.
