Thanks for the heads up :)I am especially interested in the GPG=
PU support for AMDs, since thiswould actually make FreeBSD x86 rigs very us=
eful for power efficientcluster computing. Thus far cheapest alternatives (=
on x86 hardware) havebeen based on Windows or Linux.Can I count you as a vo=
lunteer to help jmd with user level runtime support? :D-MOn 12.04.2016 22:5=
