These are hardware people.  They do it all the time.  They build
something, and hope that the software people will solve the proplem of
programming it.  And not just in research chips like the KiloCore,
also in production chips like the Cell used in the PS3 (which, I hear,
is mostly unsuccessful as far as making use of the SFUs goes).  Or in
the Cray-1 (which I consider a success).
