While the Itanium failed the Ageia PPU did succeed with its compiler. It was acquired by NVIDIA and became CUDA.

It did indeed get merged into the CUDA group but I think the internal CUDA project predated it, or at least, several of the engineers working on it did

That's not the same PPU, is it?

I always thought CUDA grew out of Ian Buck's PhD thesis under Pat Hanrahan; why do you credit Ageia?
