Basically, your single-source C++ code can now go to CPU-land, FPGA-land or GPU-land.
Wonder if something like that is available for an ARM based platform.
I guess the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC is pretty much that, but it would be cool if you could simply pair a cheap-ish FPGA device with some cheap, commodity ARM-based SoC, to get that sort of power without adding a few hundred $ to your BOM cost.
