O people of the netland,
I am exploring the link between graphics and parallel computers...
Any of you has any idea about how different graphics algorithms lend
themselves to parallelism ? Are there any commercially available
graphics packages which run on parallel machines ? What do you think
about parallelizing a raytrace algorithm ? Has it already been done ?
Can anyone think of an algorithm that will not do so well on parallel
machines ?
Any specific supercomputers for graphics only in the market ?
Any relevant information welcome..
PLEASE  EMAIL RESPONSES; I WILL POST A SUMMARY WHEN I HAVE SUFFICIENT
MATERIAL.....
