Hi all.

Has there been any discussion on the potential performance of running
POV-Ray on the Playstation 3 when it is finally released?  From what I
read, with its "seemingly obscene computing capabilities", the Cell
processor could likely perform very well for rendering.  

I'm not familar with programming for cell or SMP architectures, so
maybe someone can answer (in layman's terms) if POV-Ray 3.7, which
will support SMP, will be able to utilize the cellular multiple
processing power of the Cell, or if it is a much larger programming
task to tackle?

I'd like to hear your thoughts on this...


Kyle
