I am wondering whether this could be used for real-time ray tracing or even for real-time photon mapping. I always had the impression that in case of highly parallel algorithms an incredible amount of very primitive processors have the best MIPS/transistor_count ratio. I know though that the bottleneck usually is bus communication / memory access.
