I'm always amazed at how determined some folks are to hack their way into stuff. I think that a PC with a decent GFORCE gpu and the CUDA library might be the easier route for CAML -> GPGPU oriented experiments. BTW, the idea of an OCaml based DSL for the cell processor or various GPUs is a proposed summer intern project at Jane St. Capital's site (http://osp2007.janestcapital.com/suggested-projects/), so there seems to be an audience for this kind of stuff. In fact, GPGPU in general seems like an incredibly hot topic right now and NVIDIA's support by way of the CUDA architecture is kind of an interesting development.
