Looking through the code, this seems to do the exact same thing as Aparapi. I'm surprised this was given funding given the high quality implementation AMD has put together.

The headline is misleading; only a small subset of Java can be ported to the GPU. It works great for inner math loops and such, but not for higher level problems. Even if the author managed to find a way to translate more complicated problems (I see object locking in the list of features), they would be better suited to run on a CPU, or refactored to avoid locks.
