Hello Richard --

Sorry to be delayed in responding to you.

We are working on X10DT for v1.7. By last August X10DT for v1.5 was 
quite usable for everyday use by X10 developers. So our main focus is to 
port that level of functionality over to v 1.7. The first candidate 
release is being tested in house currently, and will stay in testing for 
a few more weeks.

I am glad to hear about your potential use for X10 with JQuantlib. That 
makes a lot of sense.  We are actively working on an NVidia GPU 
implementation as well, and should be in a position to release something 
by the end of this year.

It would be interesting to hear more about driving applications for 
JQuantLib which require coordinating 1K threads.

Best,
Vijay
