so happy that that D has a solid base for GPU work.
The post from a few weeks back with performance details
compared to BLAS and others was quite impressive. details I was
just telling Steve at the Boston meetup yesterday that libmir
and now MirGLAS has really made me jump up and down to start
using D seriously for some language processing work I have been
hoping to use it for. I have been an observer and reader for
several years now, but haven't taken the leap. Yet. Hopefully
soon...

For GPUs there is dcompute (also on libmir's github) on the way,
although it'll be probably another month (exams, joy!) before the
compiler stuff gets fully merged into LDC and we can start on an
API that forwards to OpenCL/CUDA, and doesn't suck to use.
If you have any experience with either OpenCL or CUDA we'd love
to have your input.
