2d26d1dbbd Cycles: Make CUDA aware of COMPUTE_50 (sm_50, Maxwell).
If you have a Maxwell GPU and want to test, you have to use the CUDA Toolkit 6.0(RC) and enable sm_50 in scons/cmake.

16204bd647 Cycles: prepare to make CUDA 5.0 the official version we use
* Add CUDA compiler version detection to cmake/scons/runtime
* Remove noinline in kernel_shader.h and reenable --use_fast_math if CUDA 5.x
  is used, these were workarounds for CUDA 4.2 bugs
* Change max number of registers to 32 for sm 2.x (based on performance tests
  from Martijn Berger and confirmed here), and also for NVidia OpenCL.

Overall it seems that with these changes and the latest CUDA 5.0 download, that
performance is as good as or better than the 2.67b release with the scenes and
graphics cards I tested.

d4c97029ef Cycles GPU Rendering:
* Make Cycles aware of sm_35 (Tesla K20, GeForce GTX TITAN).

The CUDA Toolkit 5.0 is needed for that and this is not officially used yet, but people with access to such cards can start testing. (just build sm_35 kernels).

e5179bfefc Remove usage WITH_CYCLES_CUDA_BINARIES in code, use check for
precompiled cubins instead,

Logic here is following now:
- If there're precompiled cubins, assume CUDA compute is available,
  otherwise
- If cuda toolkit found, assume CUDA compute is available
- In all other cases CUDA compute is not available

For windows there're still check for only precompiled binaries,
no runtime compilation is allowed.

Ended up with such decision after discussion with Brecht. The thing
is, if we'll support runtime compilation on windows we'll end up
having lots of reports about different aspects of something doesn't
work (you need particular toolkit version, msvc installed, environment
variables set properly and so) and giving feedback on such reports
will waste time.

d3c596035b Cycles / CUDA:
* Make Cycles aware of Computing Capability 3.0, used by the new Kepler Cards.
You'll need the CUDA 4.2 Toolkit to compile it.

tonemap in non-viewport render, and some utility functions.

da376e0237 Cycles render engine, initial commit. This is the engine itself, blender modifications and build instructions will follow later.
Cycles uses code from some great open source projects, many thanks them:

* Open Shading Language for a large part of the shading system:

* Blender for procedural textures and a few other nodes.
