Hi Roland, You'll need to be a be more specific about the nature of your problem, as this make a huge difference about what solutions you could possibly pursue. For instance if you don't need any results on the CPU and you want the results to be screen space then using shaders is a very good way tackle the problem, but if you need to results back on the CPU then using a GPU to do this would only work effectively in cases were you can wait for a CPU to GPU back to CPU round trip which is very expensive.
