SourceThere are a number of different ways that Java applications and the Java virtual machine can be tweaked to exploit the parallelism inherent in GPU coprocessors, such as those based on FirePro GPUs from Advanced Micro Devices or Tesla GPUs from Nvidia, and potentially parallel x86 Xeon Phi coprocessors from Intel.
And as part of new Project Sumatra, announced today at the JavaOne community event hosted by Oracle in San Francisco, Larry & Company is teaming up with AMD to put the software functionality to offload inside of the Java Virtual Machine itself rather than using a two-step conversion and dispatch process that AMD has worked on until now with its own Project Aparapi.
Maybe we'll see this feature in 3 years or so
