Relevant link to the C++AMP announcement (http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/AFDS-Keynote-Herb-Sutter-Heterogeneous-Computing-and-C-AMP http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/AFDS-Keynote-Herb-Sutter-Hete...). It's basically OpenMP for GPGPU, magic C++ macros that convert your code to DirectCompute shaders (although in theory OpenCL or Cuda could be targets as well). Like OpenMP, I'm skeptical whether or not it will actually lead to a any kind of speed up of random C++ code, even random C++ code that is data parallel, but its an interesting idea and like OMP is very low cost for developers to try out on their existing code base.
