Also "D-GPU" implies that it's only for GPUs. Granted, there's a 
lot of similarities (early 3D accelerators in arcade cabinets 
were often built from multiple DSPs, GPUs always have VLIW and 
FMA capabilities, FPGAs can function as either as DSP or GPU with 
limitations, etc), but we still need some distinction. Even CPUs 
have OpenCL capabilities (my good old Athlon 64 x2 supports up to 
1.1).

Other than I'm planning to using DCompute to implement "GPU 
blitter" (as I couldn't find any hardware acceleration API for 
raster graphics besides the long obsolete DirectDraw), but I'm 
also thinking on if I could implement some physical modelling 
audio engine, that would compile reverberation in real time for a 
virtual room, enabling it to be used in games (game audio haven't 
advanced as much as graphics unfortunately).
