An image processing system may perform various tasks in an effort to evenly distribute
workload amongst workload managers. According to one embodiment of the invention, the …

In computer graphics, rendering is the process by which an abstract description of a scene is
converted to an image. When the scene is complex, or when high-quality images or high …

Meeting the growing demands for speed and quality in rendering computer graphics images
requires new techniques. Practical parallel rendering provides one of the most practical …

Abstract We evaluate Beer–Lambert (BL) ray-tracing and Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP)
photon tracking simulations for prediction and comparison of x-ray imaging system …

Interactive ray tracing in a cluster environment requires paying close attention to the
constraints of a loosely coupled distributed system. To render large scenes interactively …

Parallelising ray tracing with a data parallel approach allows rendering of arbitrarily large
models, but the inherent load imbalances may lead to severe inefficiencies. To compensate …

Distributed ray tracing algorithms are widely used when rendering massive scenes, where
data utilization and load balancing are the keys to improving performance. One essential …

Global illumination is an area of research which tries to develop algorithms and methods to
render images of artificial models or worlds as realistically as possible. Such algorithms are …

We present recent results in the application of distributed shared memory to image parallel
ray tracing on clusters. Image parallel rendering is traditionally limited to scenes that are …

A case study is presented which is aimed at investigating the performance of several parallel
versions of the POV-Ray ray-tracing package implemented on a workstation cluster using …
