Those who are interested in this stuff should checkout previous discussions on HN. There had been quite a few when the plan to open source the compiler was announced about 4 months ago. In fact I remember a thread about pathscale planning to reverse engineer the runtime and compiler, this is also referenced in the current post. I would also recommend keeping an eye on the manticore project, they have had some success compiling nested parallel constructs into GPU instruction that is very competitive with hand optimized code. Though this seems such an obvious thing to do, it is deceptively hard, very hard.
