Well, Ct (like Microsoft's Accelerator) is fairly limited in its  
capabilities. (and the white-paper also contains some Intel marketing FUD)
Anyways, it looks like a restricted form of Bulk synchronous parallel  
programming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_Synchronous_Parallel) and  
something like Bulk-Synchronous GPU Programming  
(www.kunzhou.net/2008/BSGP.pdf) implemented on top of OpenCL  
(http://www.khronos.org/opencl/) so it may run on CPUs and all major GPUs,  
seems like a much better solution.

this stuff is why Intel executives say they have no interest in Nvidia - 
and even openly joke about them sometimes.... they have a different 
plan.....
