This was a great talk. I love the idea of getting fast results with vectorized code. Ehsan and Lindsey Kuper (who was also at the talk) said that they are working with Julia Computing and investigating integration with the multi-threaded Julia that is coming so that an external compiler (gcc, icc) would not be needed. I look forward to hearing more from Intel Labs on this.
Ehsan's slides [1], raw, unedited audio from the meetup [2], and a similar introductory talk from Lindsey [3] are available online.
