All I saw was stuff about clusters, this wouldn't help POV. POV is
single-threaded, it can't use multiple processors or distribute tasks to
other computers.

A recent custom version of MegaPOV is able to run on clusters.
Still not perfect, but it handles radiosity correctly.

There is a modified version of POV 3.01 to run in a Beowulf cluster. I
haven't looked into it all, so I am not sure exactly how it works.

Real time is always BS.
About a year ago I posted a little klein bottle .pov with each point a
sphere with and ior. Guesses were at least two weeks to parse with a
300MHz CPU. Your estimates will vary.
That would be one hell of a cluster for real time.
That is why the movie CGI folks play for speed.
In all of them, watch for shadows. That is currently the test.

I haven't seen Hank Marvin in a film in years.
