Hello,
There is still a lot of work which can be done with GPU acceleration for
BRL-CAD. I suggest you look at the current BRL-CAD C/OpenCL code and start
by accelerating one of the primitives which aren't accelerated yet like
'eto' so you can get accustomed to the code.
Your proposal for GSoC could be working on the CSG (Constructive Solid
Geometry) part of the ray-tracer. Namely the boolean evaluation part.
