You must delve too deep into your work.  LOL

I do, I do.
A bottle of Red Stripe in one hand, a Jamaican cigarette in the other 
and typing with my toes. ;)

Final render?  A likely story!

First thread in pov4 discussion:
povray.pov4.discussion.general : GPU Rendering
2007 year...
10 years old you are chatting...
I'm starting to write code...
:))))
If I do not start: you'll still think 10 years.

#include <map>
#include "Object.h"
#include "Pigment.h"
#include "Normal.h"
#include "Finish.h"
#include "Texture.h"
#include "Material.h"
#include "GlobalSettings.h"

using namespace std;

namespace povray{

class Scene{
    public:
        map<string,Object*>   objects;
        map<string,Pigment*>  pigments;
        map<string,Normal*>   normals;
        map<string,Finish*>   finishes;
        map<string,Texture*>  textures;
        map<string,Material*> materials;
        GlobalSettings*       settings;
                              Scene();
                              ~Scene();

Sorry! I am very worried. The first line:

But, I'm really worried!
And I really want to put an end to the endless debate.
Povray must have GPU.
Povray should become a universal tool: best of the best.
I love him for endless possibilities.
Such opportunities no one else...
All of this should be available to all...

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.

Developers I know: clipka and Le Forgeron.
Important for me their opinion,,,
Clipka has uberpov, Gerome has hgpovray
I will take it...

Gerome; - problems: they do not use the C++11
Gerome - au!
you'll be a long time to write in Devanagari???
