Ray Tracing on a Mini-Computer

Abstract

It would appear that most people engaged in solving problems in ray-tracing, use programs written for large computers. These machines commonly have large memory sizes, fast cycle times and large word length. This paper describes how SACLANTCEN has provided a ray-tracing capability on a mini-computer.
