    Oh I never got that far. It was all static. I supposed if I had kept plugging away it, I might’ve reinvented a 64-bit OpenCL eventually, but you have to understand the uphill climb it all was. Like I was shocked to discover at one point that while you could compile a 64-bit executable, the malloc library function was still only 32-bit! I bitched about this to IBM tech support, and they said well you could write your own malloc using mmap. I mean yikes!
