OpenCL has some pretty major limitations that CUDA does not have. Namely,
no support for function pointers, vtables (needed for OOP) or malloc on the
device. These all make it quite hard to implement something as dynamic as a
Java VM. The only RootBeer example I can see actually is more like a C
program than Java. So when they say it can translate "many Java programs"
does that include ones with dynamic memory freeing (requires a GC) and full
polymorphism?
