Hmmmm.... Looks interesting although of course for the moment is a very narrow implementation but may pave the way for more. At first glance it sounds like one could write a CUDA app in OpenCL and access the JRE installed and running on the CPU (not GPU). If I understand that correctly, then it might warrant inspection, a close look at what is running where. The link to aparapi in your reference also looks interesting although I'm not too excited about anything that waits until runtime to do the byte translation. Tony
