Virtualization using Xen-based virtual machine environment has yet to permeate the field of high performance computing (HPC). One major requirement for HPC is the availability of ...
We present strategies for parallelising ray tracing based on 5D adaptive subdivision. Our goals are to obtain good speed-up and to efficiently balance the load between the process...
The availability of high speed networks and improved microprocessor performance have made it possible to build inexpensive cluster of workstations as an appealing platform for par...
