Abstract

This paper present aspects of architecture of a cluster of workstations developed using ATM and FastEthernet technology and some of the basic principles of distributed memory programming, based on message-passing. The team used an application called Parallel POV-Ray rendering engine to show the viability of the "PoliCluster". This paper will describe the performance improvement that the Cluster architecture brought to this particular application. A significant role in choosing this particular application as an example was the natural parallelism of the rendering engine.
