I'd like to know more about how they are integating GPUs. I've been looking at CODA (nVidia library to use the GPU) and it looks mighty interesting.

Take a look at the link I posted below - OpenCL can be accomplished by using a thread scheduler that's "aware" of asymmetric processing capabilities across the different cores (and treating the GPU as a usable processing core in non-OpenGL code). I suspect they'll be using ULE or something similar to it to pull this off.
