+ \begin{itemize}
+   \item Unique pragmatic consequences of "Hybrid" CPU/GPU
+   \item Embedded - no traps need be raised. Interoperability is\\ 
+   impossible, software toolchain collaboration is incidental).
+   \item UNIX - illegal instruction traps mandatory: software\\
+   interoperability is mandatory and essential.
+   \item 3D Embedded - failure to allow implementors the freedom\\
+   to reduce FP accuracy automatically results in product failure\\
+   (too many gates, too much power, equals end-user rejection).
+   \item 3D UNIX - likewise.  Also: failure to comply with Khronos\\
+   Specifications (then use "Vulkan") is a Trademark violation.
+   \item Solution: allow software to select FP accuracy level\\
+   \textbf{at runtime}. (UNIX Platform: IEEE754. 3D UNIX: Vulkan).\\
+   \item HW: slow for IEEE754, fast for 3D. Product now competitive!
