THE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF PARALLEL PROCESSING IN COMPUTER GRAPHICS

The generation and progress of computer graphics parallel processing are described, with an emphasis on the research and development of parallel processing functional components as well as parallel algorithms and architectures for polygon rendering, global illumination models (ray-tracing and radiosity), physical field data and volume data rendering, animation and parallelized graphics standards. The work conducted by authors in this field is also given, and finally the future development of parallel processing for computer graphics is briefly described.
