Your project is to help us introduce a GPGPU pipeline into BRL-CAD using OpenCL. You're welcome to use a library that encapsulates OpenCL. We have a dozen primitives in BRL-CAD that need to be converted to OpenCL. Your objective is to implement at least two more while evaluating how your conversion compares to the non-GPGPU implementation. | Your project is to help us introduce a GPGPU pipeline into BRL-CAD using OpenCL.
