The problem with the programming model they propose, namely unroll the
entire
task graph and schedule, is that it has been proposed at least 20 times

by smart, well-funded people. These slides just tell us how the system is
supposed
to work, which is bullshit. They need to tell us how it is different from
other similar
systems which failed, and why that will make it succeed.
