Ray Tracer

A simple ray tracer in python.

Developed to demonstrate profiling tools and performance improvements and presented at Breizhcamp 2019

Branches

Each branch demonstrates one possible optimization

• master: initial basic implementation
• parallel: parallel execution with thread or processes
• intersection: sublinear intersection test, usinng a KD-tree
• vector: replacing the Vector3 class with plain tuples
• cython: using cython to move hot code to native compilation
• numpy_parallel: vectorization of computation
