A bit out of topic FYI -- Java and Sumatra are the names of two of the 5 major islands in Indonesia. The country has a grand total of 17,000 islands.

Nearly the same number as the java webapp platforms out there.

Nice to see Aparapi mentioned, the API looked promising but seemed to never really catch on. The concept of not having to ship code as Strings via native OpenCL wrappers like LWJGL was a nice usability improvement.
Hopefully Sumatra gains more momentum.
