Hello, 

I am wondering why is there a proposal to provide only a
compatible working NumPy CPU implementation for PyPy? Aren't NumPy
operations more suited for GPGPU (eg. OpenCL or CUDA) and supporting
them would result in a greater performance boost than just CPU? 

A
great project thet seems to have implemented all aspects of
parallization, also uses JIT ideas, and has a NumPy-compatible interface
(with exchangable backend/context implementation) is Clyther
(http://srossross.github.com/Clyther/ [1]). In my opinion it would be
great to join the efforts, combine the knowledge and code, and create
something really powerful. 

Maybe the developers, knowledge, or code
from Copperhead (http://copperhead.github.com/ [2]) could also help
(although it seems they are approaching the problem differently).


Greetings,
 gw
