aparapi on supercomputer from 64 Raspberry Pi

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi, I watched "supercomputer build from 64 Raspberry Pi computers" ( 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=AU&hl=en&client=mv-google&v=Jq5nrHz9I94&feature=
related&nomobile=1 ) and just wondering whether it would be possible to combine 
aparapi with Akka's Actors ( http://akka.io/ ) to run on Supercomputer whether 
there are ARM or X64?

I think the main question here is whether Aparapi will support Scala?

I think for Scala users ScalaCL is more likely to be used. 

Again, I am not sure whether Raspberry Pi supports even CPU enabled OpenCL. Let 
alone GPU enabled OpenCL. 

Although JTP is a nice fallback for Java developers when OpenCL is not 
available, I am not sure it is the most effective way to code for multi-core.  
So I am  not sure what the 'lure' is here. 

BTW if the classfiles created by Scala abide by Aparapi restrictions, then 
there is no reason why Aparapi will not work for Scala.  Especially now we no 
longer required the classfiles to contain LocalVariableTables (debug info for 
local variable names/types).
