    How many of you think this will work. I am skeptical, but intrigued just the same. New ATI FireGL boards[^] Supposedly they have an auto-tuning driver that tunes performance based on how you are using it at the time. It sounds nice, and looks nice on paper.... but I am curious if it would actually work consistently well. I imagine you could take any test case and it would work, but a full application with variety? would it have to be constantly rebalancing and retuning? would it just take its best shot, make a few tweaks and give up?

      Probably not a lot different that what peephole optimizing compilers do with ordinary code. That technology is pretty mature.
