There are several discussions here in this board on using CUDA cores in POVRAY
back in 2006-2007.

I understand that most of rendering tasks are too complicated for GPU cores, and
fit the CPU capability. However, I was unable to find any recent discussion on
this matter. In the last 10 years, the GPU technology and its interfacing
software have been massively advanced.

I wonder if a GPU-powered POVRAY (using CUDA cores for a part of the
calculations) is on the roadmap OR the difference does not justify the effort?
