[racket] [plt-edu] racket, scheme, and MPI?

MPI is really independent of places/futures because it is process
based. We could do an MPI-like or even MPI compatible Racket library.

For CUDA, it is easier, because Racket already has a featureful OpenCL
implementation:

In fact, the development version is getting much better: faster & more
compatible:
