NO, but I'm sure some devs are keenly aware of this feature in gcc-5. |

Sorry Fernando, I just now saw this thread on an old thread. I think that |
15 |
'sys-cluster/ceph' is where I'd like to test your spin on the gcc-5. |
16 |
Ceph has RDMA (RoCE) in the 0.94 branch (in portage). You are definately |
17 |
ahead of me on practical gcc-5 experiments with offloading and other |
18 |
new features. |

You did not list your second reference. Where I can I get/git your |
21 |
compiler and some brief suggestions on taking it for a test drive. |
22 |

I'm not much interested in the Intel simulator, atm. I like to test on |
24 |
old gear running gentoo:: borking is no big deal, if it happens. |
25 |
Other codes keen to test gcc-5 (offloading) on are Apache-mesos and |
26 |
Apache-spark and mesos-distcc. |

Also, per this doc [1] you can get your own gentoo overlay to put |
29 |
things up for wider experimentation, if you like. |

Very cool, what you have done, |
