The word you might mean is concerned. :)

This has been asked many times over the years. And always the answer is 
that it is not possible or so hard that it is next to impossible.
PovRay has to be portable to all OS and hardware.
I am only a user and cannot comment on the practicability.
Questions:
Could you programme to do this for all types of GPUs?
Could you work with other developers in a professional way to integrate 
it into the project?

It would be great if PovRay could use a GPU but always the answer is 
that it cannot be done.
