I have one that models colored 3-D spheres on a black background.  I have
written it for PVM, as well as other parallel machines and architectures.
The code is well-documented, and is relatively small in size.  There are 
just two programs to complile: master.c & slave.c.  It works quite well.
I have used it on a set of 5 Sun workstations while still at school, 
and on a set of 85 Suns at work.  This source code is available to all who
want it.  The program has been adapted for the CM-5, iPSC Hypercube, Parallaxis,
and C-Linda.  If you want it, you can have it.  Heck, sell it if you want, I
don't care.
