Decora <> Open Shading Language?

[Tom Schindl]

If I read this right they are running the shader stuff on the CPU and
not on the GPU.

In the roadmap I read:
--------8<--------
...
We would like to implement alternate "back ends" that would allow
translation of OSL shaders (and shader networks) into code that can run
on GPUs or other exotic hardware (at least for the biggest subset of OSL
that can be expressed on such hardware). This would, for example, allow
you to view close approximations to your OSL shaders in realtime preview
windows in a modeling system or lighting tool.
...
--------8<--------
