All that the ray tracing cores do is accelerate calculation of BVH intersections. The rest of the tracing (ie the part that gives meaning to the BVH intersection result) is done via compute, with the RT cores being able to be 'invoked' essentially arbitrarily. This is in contrast to the way graphics cards used to be, where you had certain stages for certain things, designed specifically around producing graphics, making the 'graphics' part of the name hold more weight than nowadays. I'm not sure if you're asking if they're used for a compute application or if you're asking if they can be used from the same execution path as 'compute' code.
