While there is existing ANSI C/C++ code for [[wikipedia:Boundary representation|Brep]] in BRL-CAD it is not GPU parallel. Porting it to the GPU with OpenCL should be rather complex because much of this code is written in object oriented C++. | While there is existing ANSI C/C++ code for [[wikipedia:Boundary representation|Brep]] in BRL-CAD it is not GPU parallel.

Alternatively you can also look into incorporating SYCL for the Brep code. SYCL is a GPU parallel language based on C++ which should be possible to interface with OpenCL. |
