We describe a dynamic load-balancing algorithm for ray-tracing by progressive refinement on a distributed-memory parallel computer. Parallelization of progressive ray-tracing for single images is difficult because of the inherent sequential nature of the sample location generation process, which is
Highly parallel machines needed to solve compute-intensive scientific applications are based on the distribution of physical memory across the compute nodes. The drawback of such systems is the necessity to write applications in the message passing programming model. Therefore, a lot of research is
Ray tracing is a well known technique to generate life-like images. Unfortunately, ray tracing complex scenes can require large amounts of CPU time and memory storage. Distributed memory parallel computers with large memory capacities and high processing speeds are ideal candidates to perform ray tr
