Abstract A parallel ray tracing algorithm is presented. It subdivides the seene into 3D regions, the adjacency of which is modelled by a connectivity graph of regions. Since with each region is associated a ray tracing process, this graph becomes a graph of processes, the edges of which represent the communications between processes. This graph of processes is suitably mapped onto a hypercube topology so as to minimize the communication cost. Static load balancing is performed and solutions are brought to the problems of network congestion and termination.
