"Kilauea" - parallel global illumination renderer
'Kilauea' is a revolutionary parallel renderer developed at Square USA. The goal of the R&D effort was to create a renderer which can compute global illumination on extremely complex scenes by using affordable PC cluster. This paper reports Kilauea's parallel processing methodology, implementation issues, and parallel performance. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
