RayTracing Distributed System

چکیده
In this work we present the analysis and decissions taken to develop a distributed raytracing system. We will detail the options analyzed, as well as the solutions adopted to get a multiplatform and flexible system under the client-server paradigm. In this way, the system will improve the performance of computer based animation workers that make use of raytracing techniques. Moreover, due to modular architecture, the system could be utilized in many other types of calculations.

An introduction to load balancing for parallel raytracing on HDC systems
Heterogeneous distributed computing (HDC) systems, which exploit the aggregate power of a network of workstations and personal computers are an inexpensive alternative to the dedicated parallel supercomputing systems. As these systems are widely available in academic and industrial environments, it is becoming popular to use these computing resources to solve timeconsuming applications. The foc...
متن کاملMulti-Resolution Point-Sample Raytracing
We propose a new strategy for raytracing complex scenes without aliasing artifacts. The algorithm intersects anisotropic ray cones with prefiltered surface sample points from a multi-resolution point hierarchy. The algorithm can be extended to capture effects of distributed raytracing [7] such as blurry reflections, depth of field, or soft shadows. In contrast to former anti-aliasing techniques...
متن کاملA practical approach of task scheduling and load balancing on heterogeneous distributed raytracing systems
A raytracing technique has been widely used in various applications since it can synthesize realistic images by calculating the effect of global illumination among objects. Raytracing is useful when we want to view a realistic image of something but either: (i) we do not want to make a physical model due to cost, size, or other constraints; or (ii) we do not have direct access to the situation....
متن کاملDynamic raytracing in inhomogeneous anisotropic media
I present a new differential equation system for dynamic raytracing in inhomogeneous anisotropic media. This new system is computationally much more efficient than the traditional elastic-parameter based system as the right-hand-side functions of this new system are simple. Evaluation of these functions involves only differentiation of phase velocities. Evaluation of the right-hand-side functio...
متن کاملA Flexible and Scalable Rendering Engine for Interactive 3D Graphics
Ray-tracing is well-known as a general and flexible rendering algorithm that generates high-quality images. But in the past, raytracing implementations were too slow to be used in an interactive context. Recently, the performance of ray-tracing has been increased by over an order of magnitude, making it interesting as an alternative to rasterization-based rendering. We present a new rendering e...
