    abstract     = "This thesis describes useful methods and techniques for designing scalable hybrid parallel rendering architectures for {3D} computer graphics. Various techniques for utilizing parallelism in a pipelines system are analyzed. During the Ph.D study a prototype {3D} graphics architecture named Hybris has been developed. Hybris is a prototype rendering architeture which can be tailored to many specific {3D} graphics applications and implemented in various ways. Parallel software implementations for both single and multi-processor Windows 2000 system have been demonstrated. Working hardware/software codesign implementations of Hybris for standard-cell based {ASIC} (simulated) and {FPGA} technologies have been demonstrated, using manual co-synthesis for translation of a Virtual Prototyping architecture specification written in C into both optimized C source for software and into to a synthesizable {VHDL} specification for hardware implementation. A flexible {VRML} 97 {3D} scene graph engine with a Java interface and C++ interface has been implemented to allow flexible integration of the rendering technology into Java and C++ applications. A {3D} medical visualization workstation prototype (3D-Med) is examined as a case study and an application of the Hybris graphics architecture."
