You might want to have a look/contact people at:
http://www.gpgpu.org/
and check the reference to some "Graphics Hardware 2007 Papers" at the "ACM digital library".
Maybe that's helpful.

I think that the GPU stuff is also very valuable for scientific computing and not only
for bloody games, spinning and animated desktops. Maybe some of you want to consider that
usage profile also when creating/improving open source drivers.
