I wonder if POV-Ray 3.7 could be compiled for this monster:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_%28computer%29
It has more cores than the maximum number of threads POV-Ray would use for
an average-sized image (iow. you basically get a core for each square to which
the image is subdivided by POV-Ray for rendering).
A giant poster-sized image could perhaps require rendering more than one
square per core...
