Abstract

this paper, we discuss the design and implementation of some three-dimensional rendering algorithms on massively parallel computers. These algorithms employ SIMD-style parallelism. That is, each processor runs the same instructions on different data. We have implemented some of these algorithms on the Connection Machine 2, a computer manufactured by the Thinking Machines Corporation. This paper should be accessible to people interested in computer graphics or massively parallel algorithms. We have taken great care to introduce both fields sufficiently that this paper should be quite self-contained. As a result, this paper should be readable by anyone familiar with some elementary theoretical computer science. This paper is intended both for the graphics community and for the parallel processing community. In view of this, we have felt it necessary to review certain aspects of both areas, resulting in a lengthy report. The reader who finds our explanations of either area too terse should refer to the references for further reading
