Game of Threads - You Spawn or You Die
summary
An intentional DSL called Intentional Computing Engine runs atop the Erlang VM, moves numeric kernels into C/assembler and offloads via OpenCL to GPUs, and hides process management so the program expresses multi‑dimensional equations while the engine sparks parallel work on demand. A scanner pass is solid, evaluator and cache are alpha, and refactoring tools from the Paraphrase project turn days of manual threading into hours on a 24‑core machine. A beta open source release is planned and GPU offload is functional but currently inefficient.
