Ray tracing on the MPP
John E. Dorband · NASA STI Repository (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) · 1987
Generating graphics to faithfully represent information can be a computationally intensive task. A way of using the Massively Parallel Processor to generate images by ray tracing is presented. This technique uses sort computation, a method of performing generalized routing interspersed with computation on a single-instruction-multiple-data (SIMD) computer.
