Parallel Ray Tracing in CC++

Vineet Ahuja

We propose to parallelize an existing implementation of a ray tracer called Raylab, which is a public domain software.

This sample scene (640x480, reduced here) took approximately 11 minutes to render on the sequential version.



We have finished learning CC++ and now intend to investigate strategies for parallelization of the code. We will then convert the program first to C++ (program is currently in C) and then to CC++.
We hope to come close to a speed-up of N. The program will be implemented on the SP-2 port of CC++.
