This may be of interest,
LLVM support in Mesa, and i believe there is work doing on with LLVM
and python in the pypy camp.

I just stumbled on this page, while this conversation was happening :)

Hi Martin,
I was wondering if anyone has thought about accelerating NumPy with a GPU. For example nVidia's CUDA SDK provides a feasible way to offload vector math onto the very fast SIMD processors available on the GPU. Currently GPUs primarily support single precision floats and are not IEEE compliant, but still could be useful for some applications.
I wasn't actually there, but I noticed that last year's SciPy conference page includes a talk entitled "GpuPy: Using GPUs to Accelerate NumPy", by Benjamin Eitzen (I think I also found his Web page via Google):
http://www.scipy.org/SciPy2006/Schedule
I also wondered whether Benjamin or anyone else who is interested had come across the Open Graphics Project (hadn't got around to asking)?
Thanks for your interest. Ben and I (mostly Ben, it's his MS thesis) are working on "gpupy" and expect to have a version ready for testing by people other than ourselves some time this summer.
(Very) preliminary results are promising.
