# raytracer
(based on 'Raytracing in one weekend')
While researching scientific programming libraries I ended up with a bunch of different implementations of the ray tracer in Java, Python, Numpy, Cupy.
Every rendering is done on CPU except for cupy implementation.
## Benchmarking
### Pic1
Size: 400x225, two spheres with 50% diffusion and red gradient background, rendered with 10 samples per pixel.
### Pic2
Size: 400x225, one red sphere without diffusion, rendered with 10 samples per pixel.
### Pic3
Size: 1000x562, one red sphere without diffusion, rendered with 240 samples per pixel.
### Hardware, OS
CPU: Xeon® E5-2620 v2
GPU: GTX 1070
RAM: 32Gb
VM running Ubuntu 22.04
`python3 --version`: `Python 3.10.12`
`java -version`: `openjdk version "21.0.4" 2024-07-16, OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 21.0.4+7-Ubuntu-1ubuntu222.04), OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0.4+7-Ubuntu-1ubuntu222.04, mixed mode, sharing)`

## Future
TODO Benchmark rendering the same picture for all implementations.
