...The efficient use of SIMD is achieved by processing four rays at a time to match SIMD register width (hence the name). The rendering core of the engine is written in a unified SIMD assembler allowing single assembler code to be compatible with different processor architectures, thus reducing the need to maintain multiple parallel versions. At present, Intel SSE/SSE2/SSE4 and AVX/AVX2/AVX-512 (32/64-bit x86 ISAs), ARMv7 NEON/NEONv2, ARMv8 AArch32 and AArch64 NEON, SVE (32/64-bit ARM ISAs), MIPS 32/64-bit r5/r6 MSA and POWER 32/64-bit VMX/VSX (little/big-endian ISAs) are mostly implemented (/w horizontal reductions) although scalar improvements, wider SIMD vectors with zeroing/merging predicates in 3/4-operand instructions are planned as extensions to current 2/3-operand SPMD-driven vertical SIMD ISA. ...

The project implemented a Whitted-style ray tracer on the Cell processor in C language to utilize utmost power of the processor.

HDCellRT Produced an interactive ray tracer for use on the Sony Playstation 3's Cell processor. It can output to the high definition frame buffer on the PS3. Most of the project is written in assembly for the Cell's SPUs. Project not polished, but done

LightStorm is a photorealistic multi-processor 3D rendering engine written in C/C++ that goes one step beyond Radiosity without the need for ray-tracing tecniques.
