✦ Synopsis

ÔKilaueaÕ is a revolutionary parallel renderer developed at Square USA. The goal of the R&D effort was to create a renderer which can compute global illumination on extremely complex scenes by using affordable PC cluster. This paper reports KilaueaÕs parallel processing methodology, implementation issues, and parallel performance.
