Parallel rendering

<p>Parallel rendering (or distributed rendering) is the application of <a href="/facts/Parallel_programming/nQzcpzQt">parallel programming</a> to the computational domain of <a href="/facts/Computer_graphics/lapBE8wv">computer graphics</a>. <a href="/facts/Rendering_(computer_graphics)/YYxfnmAq">Rendering</a> graphics can require massive computational resources for complex scenes that arise in <a href="/facts/Scientific_visualization/p0yPc1X5">scientific visualization</a>, <a href="/facts/Medical_visualization/pL6JyJEp">medical visualization</a>, <a href="/facts/Computer-aided_design/5gSXrmmN">CAD</a> applications, and <a href="/facts/Virtual_reality/0psDGsxT">virtual reality</a>. Recent research has also suggested that parallel rendering can be applied to <a href="/facts/Mobile_gaming/H3e7p0K7">mobile gaming</a> to decrease power consumption and increase graphical fidelity. Rendering is an <a href="/facts/Embarrassingly_parallel/phT66Up4">embarrassingly parallel</a> workload in multiple domains (e.g., pixels, objects, frames) and thus has been the subject of much research.
