Are there any projects that go the opposite direction, to run CPU code on GPU? I understand that there might be limitations, like not being able to access system calls or the filesystem. What I'm mainly looking for is a way to write C-style code and have it run auto-parallelized, without having to drop into a different language or annotate my code or manually manage buffers.
