Thanks for the link, I have looked at webcl from the khronos link, but did not know that there is project underway
webcl lets you put openCL like code into JavaScript my idea is somewhat different, I'd like to extend javascript so that some constructs may run on the gpu without the developer needing to write in a special gpu language. There is a project from intel research called rivertrail that is closer to what I would like to do.. Rivertrail has a prototype firefox implementation.
