[gridengine users] Offers for GE users

[Fritz Ferstl]

Thanks for attending the webinar, Andreas.

I wouldn't go as far as claiming we are having concrete plans already 
but suffice it to say that we are talking to providers of GPU accelerators.

And I take your question as a statement of interest from your side in 
such a functionality. As repeated a few times yesterday, we are 
listening to Grid Engine users for what they need most in the process of 
locking down our roadmap.

This is a statement from the Univa side, of course. Since this is the 
community list I should also put my community hat on and say that there 
is also the community way of implementing a functionality. Maybe there 
is passion and experience regarding GPU support somewhere in this crowd. 
At least part of the required efforts would seem to be well suited even 
for those who have not had much exposure to the Grid Engine source code 
before.

Cheers,

Fritz
