Ray tracing on a connection machine

H. C. Delany · 1988

A new ray-tracing algorithm designed specifically for massively parallel hypercube connected processors is introduced. World space is subdivided according to a fixed size 3-D orthogonal grid. Rays are traced using ray-points which move along the rays, referencing the voxels intersected. One processor is assigned per ray, as well as one processor per object fragment.
