[Response to net.graphics request for info]

A PhD student of Jim Kajiya's at Caltech has written an analysis of a number
of ways in which ray-tracing (and other) algorithms can be run on parallel
architectures.  His thesis is:

Parallel Machines for Computer Graphics
Michael K. Ullner
California Institute of Technology (1983)

John Cleary and Brian Wyville of the University of Calgary are working on
parallel machines for ray-tracing.  Some related work of theirs is reported
in the Graphics Interface '84 (Ottawa) conference proceedings.
