You might want to generate code for coprocessors too, like

http://www.parallella.org/

Or FPGUs...
Or send it over to a small cluster on Amazon...

Basically being able to write sensible DMD code for the CPU and 
then later configure it to ship off isolated computations to 
whatever computational resources you have available (on- or 
off-site) would be more interesting than pure GPGPU which 
probably is going to be out of date real soon due to the shifts 
in technology.
