Ray Tracing is an algorithm for generating photo-realistic pictures of the 3D scenes, given scene description, lighting condition and viewing parameters as inputs. The algorithm is inherently convenient for parallelization and the simplest parallelization scheme is for the shared-memory parallel machines (multiprocessors). This paper presents two implementations of the algorithm developed by the authors for alike machines, one using the POSIX threads API and another one using the OpenMP API. The paper also presents results of rendering some test scenes using these implementations and discusses our parallel algorithm version efficiency.
Keywords: Computer graphics, Ray tracing, parallelization, multiprocessors.
