Hi Bruce,
There is the parallel rendering chapter in "Rendering with Radiance," and the
following short write-up:
http://radsite.lbl.gov/radiance/refer/Notes/parallel.html
As with most of the rest of Radiance, add-on libraries are avoided, so no
OpenMP, MPI, etc. is used. Also, making ray-tracing work with SIMD is
notoriously difficult, so parallelization is course-grained.
I can e-mail you the parallel rendering chapter if you don't have the book.
Cheers,
-Greg
