In the way VDPAU is today. Able to do more than run the demo/test code shipped with Mesa. Reducing power consumption by offloading work to an appropriate device instead of increasing it by being dead weight to compile.

I don't think my phone has a 300W processor (it seems to cope with image/photo editing fine regardless). Did you mean to say Someone Else's Computers? Those kind of services are best enjoyed as schadenfreude.

Indeed, a mobile phone with a 300W Xeon Phi processor would last about five seconds before either draining the battery or setting itself on fire, whichever comes first. Possibly both.
There should have been a closing parenthesis after "Phi". That was meant to be read as "GPGPU is used on your mobile phone".
