OpenMP Offload to GPU and REAL(16)

I am still awaiting the availability of the Battlemage version of GPU's and have a question regarding REAL(16) support.

 

On the CPU (current generation) there is no hardware support for REAL(16) so it is emulated in software. My question is, (I presume native support for REAL(16) will not be available on Intel GPU's), is software emulation of REAL(16) provided within the (Intel) GPU?

I just got out of a meeting with the Fortran compiler engineers and asked your question.

No, REAL(16) is not supported. You will get a compile time error message.
