Actually that sounds ideal for Cell. Waves and spheres can fit as formulas without needing high memory accesses, meaning Cell can run at full pelt. Mercury technologies have an imaging system sped up some 40-50x using Cell.
http://www.mc.com/cell/demo.cfm There's talk of making Cell available to PCs via a PCI-Express card... http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/dw_thread.jsp?message=13792995&cat=46&thread=109082&treeDisplayType=threadmode1&forum=739#13792995 Whether that comes to anything or not, in 5 years time the availability of ultra-high speed maths engines should be common and cheap in one form or other.
