I just wanted to clarify my previous post regarding a parallel ray tracing
application.  The application that my course in school is working on will
only distribute the workload of processing many frames.  Rather, each 
frame in the animation is assigned to one host.  That way each host will be
working on only one rendering process at a time and each host completes
the entire frame on its own.  

The individual frames are not render across a number of different hosts.

A more detailed description of the project can be found at:

Hope this helps.  Information about the entire course can be found at
just ~cps479/ .
