A bunch of questions: Is multi-threading happening at the level of user-defined functions? How are threads scheduled? What's the underlying method or library for enabling multi-threading (Cilk, openMP, some LWT library...)? To what extent has this level of granularity been tested against other levels of nested parallelism (e.g. SIMD or otherwise parallel operators)? Have you tested performance by OS, and if so, have you noted any necessary OS-level modifications related to thread management? Is this part of a broader roadmap for accelerator integration?
