  abstract={Ray tracing is a powerful technique to generate realistic
images of 3D scenes. However, the rendering of complex scenes under
advanced lighting circumstances may easily exceed the pro-cessing and
memory capabilities of a single workstation. Distributed processing
offers a solution if the algorithm can be parallelised in an efficient
way. In this paper a hybrid scheduling approach is presented that combines
demand driven and data parallel techniques. Which tasks to process
demand driven and which data driven, is decided by the data intensity
of the task and the amount of data locality (coherence) that will be
present in the task. By combining demand driven and data parallel tasks,
a good load balance is achieved, while at the same time spreading the
commu-nication evenly across the network. This leads to a scalable
and efficient parallel implementation of the ray tracing algorithm
with fairly no restriction on the size of the model data base to be
rendered.},
