Software such as 3ds Max can only run on the CPU, there is no way to run it on GPU. Render Engines run on the CPU but can do their rendering either on CPU or GPU (or both). Corona however is CPU only, so both runs on and renders using the CPU alone (with the exception of Denoising, if you choose the NVIDIA AI Denoising mode - this runs on GPU).

PS, if it helps, a CPU is general purpose, so it can run anything from word processing to video editing to anything else. A GPU is built for the very specific purposes of processing images or running AI, so that's why you don't find Max, Word, Photoshop, etc. running on GPU - at best they will do "graphical things" on the GPU since that is image processing, but the main program runs on the CPU which is general purpose and can do anything.

You would have to use V-Ray GPU or V-Ray Hybrid, those render on GPU (or shared CPU + GPU in the case of Hybrid). Corona does not render on GPU - you can't change where it renders, the code has to be completely re-written by the developers to work on GPU :)
