A multiprocessor architecture for viewing solid models

Abstract A simple way of using many processors in picture generation is to allocate each one to a region of the display screen. A device is proposed which uses such an architecture to produce pictures direct from set-theoretic solid models. Alternative strategies for partitioning the screen area between processors are advanced, and evaluated by means of a simulation.
