Sorry if you feel boring by those messages, but soem of us still get wet
eyes when it comes to OpenCL and LLVm (LLVM is supposed to become soon
the backend compiler in FreeBSD, as I understand). On PHORONIX I read
this message days ago:

I think this is promising - in a way. Maybe some compiler specialists
will have merci (as well as nVidia and AMD) and present soemday in the
future OpenCL-based GPGPU capabilities for HPC on FreeBSD.

I still have hope that the important part HPC will become  again an
option using FreeBSD as it was 10 years ago.

Regards,
Oliver
