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.

Abstract In this paper, a method using bintree structure to express the states of the packing space of rectangular packing is proposed. Through the sequential decomposition of the packing space, the optimal packing scheme of various sized rectangular packing can be obtained by every time putting the optimal piece that satisfies specular conditions toward the current packing space and by locating it at the up-left corner of the current packing space. Different optimal packing schemes that satisfy different demands can be obtained by adjusting the values of the ordering factors KA and KB. A parallel algorithm based on SIMD-CREW shared-memory computer is designed through the analysis of the parallelism of the bintree expression. The whole packing process is clearly expressed by the bintree. The computational complexity of the algorithm is shown to be O(n2logn). Both the experimental results and the comparison with other sequential packing algorithms have proved that the parallel packing algorithm is efficient. What is more, it nearly doubles the problem solving speed.

In the work there is a modernization of the parallel algorithm for the radar images formation of 3D models with the synthesis of the antenna aperture. In the formation of the scene description, the various structures are used in which it is possible to use more efficient and derived calculations. In addition, it is the topical task to recognize objects on radar images. Thus, on the basis of the implemented parallel program for modelling, the high performance required for simulating multiple radar images can be achieved.
