MathOverflow's primary goal is for users to ask and answer research level math questions, the sorts of questions you come across when you're writing or reading articles or graduate level books. Of course, individual questions don't have to be worthy of an article, and they don't have to be about new mathematics. A typical example is, "Can this hypothesis in that theorem be relaxed in this way?"

Breadth-first computational geometry manycores
http://graphics.stanford.edu/~yoel/notes/sugerman-thesis.pdf
“GRAMPS is a General Runtime/Architecture for Many-core Parallel Systems. It defines a programming model for expressing pipeline and computation-graph style parallel applications. It exposes a small, high-level set of primitives designed to be simple to use, to exhibit properties necessary for high-throughput processing, and
to permit efficient implementations. We intend for GRAMPS implementations to involve various combinations of software and underlying hardware support, similar for example, to how OpenGL permits flexibility in an implementation’s division of driver and GPU hardware responsibilities. However, unlike OpenGL, we envision
GRAMPS as being without ties to a specific application domain. Rather, it provides a substrate upon which domain-specific models can be built. …” Jeremy Sugerman

F# MEF MEF#
http://www.mattssoftwareblog.com/?tag=codedom
I wrote this little applet to see what the combination of MEF and the F# CodeDom would look like, and for the record it looks really really good.
This combination opens a whole lot of doors … Matt’s Software Blog, March 21 2010
This is one of the few F# MEF items to show up while searching, but I hope there will be may more – soon.
