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
'sys-cluster/ceph' is where I'd like to test your spin on the gcc-5.
Ceph has RDMA (RoCE) in the 0.94 branch (in portage). You are definately
ahead of me on practical gcc-5 experiments with offloading and other
new features.

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

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

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

Very cool, what you have done,
James

* [gentoo-user] new computer : any advice ?

  To: Gentoo User

I've built  4  machines starting in 2000 ,
all with parts bought from Canada Computers in downtown Toronto.
ANB1 + ANB3 had Intel CPUs, ANB2 + ANB4 have AMD CPUs
('ANB' = 'Aristotle's new body', Aristotle being my computer spirit (grin)).
ANB1 (2000) went to the recyclers long ago, ANB3 (2007) is a door-stop ;
ANB2 (2003) still wakes up, but can't talk to a present-day mouse ;
ANB4 (2012) has worked perfectly to date ; ANB2-4 all run Gentoo.

Since I currently have only  1  usable machine, ie no stand-by,
I want to build a new cutting-edge replacement with ANB4 becoming stand-by.

Below are what I put into ANB4 & what is offered today for ANB5 :
I've marked my 1st-take choices with a '*'.
Since my AMD machines have been more successful than the Intels,
I intend to use an AMD CPU again & anyway they seem to be cheaper & faster.
Gigabyte mobos are cheaper & it has been good in ANB4.
I've always used Kingston memory with no problems.
I want Nvidia graphix & the faster card seems a better choice.
SSD HDD DVD drives don't offer much choice, but these seem adequate.

I use the machine for typical desktop office + personal work :
no gaming, no movies, no music (I might try enabling sound in ANB5).
Efficient handling of Gentoo emerges is important.

I am a bit shocked at the big increase in price
for a smaller increase in overall performance,
but I can afford the parts as described ; prices in CAD, of course.
