Heterogenous compute has just not been working in general. Even big.LITTLE cores don't play together, much less CPU and GPU, even with shared memory. You need a natural reason to force one type of compute into the other, and in practice, it never happens. Perhaps eventually we will see FPGA's into the mix, and then compiling a CPU instruction set with a heterogenous FPGA custom made instruction will make things faster. But I doubt it.
Just like Itanium, these will turn out to be solutions looking for an answer. And in the end, answers to the wrong questions.
