Okay, you've gone way beyond my area of knowledge already :)  OpenCL
sounds cool.  I hadn't seen that one yet.  The development platform
with Faust is completely foreign to me--I don't think I can reply back
to you with anything good.  Probably, if we come up with anything in
the way of top-down design, we should be able to apply the same
framework to different platforms and make comparisons.
