Wouldn't this require at least R500 support as well as FireStream/OpenCL support in MorphOS?

Aww! Spoil-sport.
(Thanks for the link though, good to know the threshold for such things.)
On a related note, I'd be far more interested to see some GPU acceleration rather than any multi-core/cpu implementation.
Multiple cores/cpus (in idealised terms) can multiply effectiveness linearly with increased number. Offloading eg vector/matrix operations to a GPU would make far more of a difference.
