In addition to the references provided on our ideas page, you should start with
the previous efforts:
http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2016
<http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2016>
http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2015
<http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2015>
Given there are many complexities involved, one of the critically necessary
aspects of a GPGPU proposal will be demonstrating you can pick up where one of
those projects left off and proposing something specific. This is best
demonstrated through a working patch of some sort in addition to a
well-researched proposal writeup.
Cheers!
