Forgot to respond to this. This probably does not apply to 
*dcompute*, but Bryce pointed out in his presentation how you 
could step through your "GPU code" on the CPU using a regular 
debugger since the parallel code was regular C++. Not exactly 
sure how that works, but I would imagine that they provide 
functions that match the GPU?

That sounds like a massive productivity advantage to me if you 
want to write complicated "shaders".
