Oh man oh man oh man that is as cool as anything!

Do developers need to put it into their programs to optimize it? Or could the program's needs be spread out according to a locally stored kernal? I don't know much about this technology, but I do know that (just on the basis of sharing data between processors while being limited by distance) it's complicated.
