#3It would be good to post the code for the performance tests in the slides. https://raw.github.com/pcpratts/rootbeer1/master/doc/hpcc_ro...

#4I had forgotten just how much I hate java namespaces.
import edu.syr.pcpratts.rootbeer.testcases.rootbeertest.serialization.MMult;
This seems like a pretty amazing project if the claims are true, though - I wasn't aware that CUDA was able to express so many of the concepts used to implement Java applications. The performance data in the slides is certainly compelling!

#5Seems much nicer than coding directly for CUDA or OpenCL

#6At first glance this seems very impressive.

#7I wonder if this is as big a win as it sounds. Regardless of what language you're using, you have to "think GPU" to get any performance from GPUs. The additional overhead of using CUDA/OpenCL syntax seems pretty small in comparison.

You find similarly named namespaces, packages, modules in most languages that support modules.
Don't blame the language for what some guys do with them.

#9A comparison with AMD's Java offering, Arapi (http://developer.amd.com/zones/java/aparapi/pages/default.as...), would be interesting.

#10Its pretty cool. Of course you are probably using that GPU in a desktop, but an on die GPU in a server class machine? Something to consider.
