GPU acceleration in Krita

[Andrew Savonichev]

Hello,

I'd like to know what is the status of GPU usage in Krita. I know
Krita can use OpenGL
for rendering, but I'm thinking about offloading image processing
algorithms to GPU.

>From my understanding, many algorithms in Krita are data parallel and
operate on entire image, what
makes them good candidates for offloading.

Is there any directions, discussions or maybe some existing work on
enabling GPU acceleration?
What do you think about adding this to Krita?
