View, Ca. Lines: 11 I saw a demonstration of some real time ray tracing on a massively parallel machine (I believe it was a connection machine with something like 4096 processors) anyway, ray tracing is well enough known that it is probably possible to build a dedicated ray tracing vector unit that costs less than these massively parallel boxes. -- --Chuck McManis Sun Microsystems uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: Internet: cmcmanis@Eng.Sun.COM These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
