In OpenCL, we can still use image primitives and kernels (shaders).
So I'm not quite sure that OpenCL isn't suitable for our problem.  I
haven't really looked into CUDA, so I have no opinion regarding its
suitability.

I agree that this topic is really interesting.  I'd really appreciate
help code-wise and architecture-wise.  I still have one architecture
article to post, please look forward to it!  Also, if you're positive
that you want to help, you can start by hanging around #gegl in IRC.
I'll be there later (not now, 'coz I don't have net connectivity at
home).

Later!  :)
