These features are supported by CPU and GPU rendering in Houdini for Production and IPR modes. In Houdini, IPR on the CPU is the same as Production rendering on the CPU when using the Progressive image sampler. Note that IPR uses Brute Force for GI by default. To use Light Cache in IPR, use the Engine > Light Cache option.

Limitations

...

GPU in Production mode does not support Distributed Rendering.
