Re: GPU programming?

gcc (and gfortran) has supported OpenMP for a very long time via their GOMP
(pthreads underneath), not sure about LLVM based support or offloading (via
the latest supported OpenMP specification) to accelerators on FreeBSD per
se. What are you looking for in terms of OS support?

Cheers,
Brett
