# Line 23 | Line 23 | static const char      RCSid[] = "$Id$";
23   *  The first step is opening one or more rendering processes
24   *  with a call to ray_pinit(oct, nproc).  Before calling fork(),
25   *  ray_pinit() loads the octree and data structures into the
26 < *  caller's memory.  This permits all sorts of queries that
27 < *  wouldn't be possible otherwise, without causing any real
26 > *  caller's memory, and ray_popen() synchronizes the ambient
27 > *  file, if any.  Shared memory permits all sorts of queries
28 > *  that wouldn't be possible otherwise, without causing any real
29   *  memory overhead, since all the static data are shared
30   *  between processes.  Rays are then traced using a simple
31   *  queuing mechanism, explained below.
32   *
33 < *  The ray queue holds as many rays as there are rendering
34 < *  processes.  Rays are queued and returned by a single
33 > *  The ray queue buffers RAYQLEN rays before sending to
34 > *  children, each of which may internally buffer RAYQLEN rays.
35 > *
36 > *  Rays are queued and returned by a single
37   *  ray_pqueue() call.  A ray_pqueue() return
38   *  value of 0 indicates that no rays are ready
39   *  and the queue is not yet full.  A return value of 1
# Line 43 | Line 46 | static const char      RCSid[] = "$Id$";
46   *      myRay.rorg = ( ray origin point )
47   *      myRay.rdir = ( normalized ray direction )
48   *      myRay.rmax = ( maximum length, or zero for no limit )
49 < *      rayorigin(&myRay, NULL, PRIMARY, 1.0);
49 > *      rayorigin(&myRay, PRIMARY, NULL, NULL);
50   *      myRay.rno = ( my personal ray identifier )
51   *      if (ray_pqueue(&myRay) == 1)
52   *              { do something with results }
# Line 51 | Line 54 | static const char      RCSid[] = "$Id$";
54   *  Note the differences between this and the simpler ray_trace()
55   *  call.  In particular, the call may or may not return a value
56   *  in the passed ray structure.  Also, you need to call rayorigin()
57 < *  yourself, which is normally for you by ray_trace().  The
58 < *  great thing is that ray_pqueue() will trace rays faster in
57 > *  yourself, which is normally called for you by ray_trace().  The
58 > *  benefit is that ray_pqueue() will trace rays faster in
59   *  proportion to the number of CPUs you have available on your
60   *  system.  If the ray queue is full before the call, ray_pqueue()
61   *  will block until a result is ready so it can queue this one.
# Line 81 | Line 84 | static const char      RCSid[] = "$Id$";
84   *              ray_psend(&myRay);
85   *      }
86   *
87 < *  The ray_presult() and/or ray_pqueue() functions may then be
88 < *  called to read back the results.
87 > *  Note that it is a fatal error to call ra_psend() when
88 > *  ray_pnidle is zero.  The ray_presult() and/or ray_pqueue()
89 > *  functions may be called subsequently to read back the results.
90   *
91   *  When you are done, you may call ray_pdone(1) to close
92   *  all child processes and clean up memory used by Radiance.
# Line 99 | Line 103 | static const char      RCSid[] = "$Id$";
103   *  If you just want to reap children so that you can alter the
104   *  rendering parameters without reloading the scene, use the
105   *  ray_pclose(0) and ray_popen(nproc) calls to close
106 < *  then restart the child processes.
106 > *  then restart the child processes after the changes are made.
107   *
108   *  Note:  These routines are written to coordinate with the
109   *  definitions in raycalls.c, and in fact depend on them.
110   *  If you want to trace a ray and get a result synchronously,
111   *  use the ray_trace() call to compute it in the parent process.
112 + *  This will not interfere with any subprocess calculations,
113 + *  but beware that a fatal error may end with a call to quit().
114   *
115   *  Note:  One of the advantages of using separate processes
116   *  is that it gives the calling program some immunity from
117   *  fatal rendering errors.  As discussed in raycalls.c,
118   *  Radiance tends to throw up its hands and exit at the
119   *  first sign of trouble, calling quit() to return control
120 < *  to the system.  Although you can avoid exit() with
120 > *  to the top level.  Although you can avoid exit() with
121   *  your own longjmp() in quit(), the cleanup afterwards
122   *  is always suspect.  Through the use of subprocesses,
123   *  we avoid this pitfall by closing the processes and
# Line 120 | Line 126 | static const char      RCSid[] = "$Id$";
126   *  of these calls, you can assume that the processes have
127   *  been cleaned up with a call to ray_close(), though you
128   *  will have to call ray_pdone() yourself if you want to
129 < *  free memory.  Obviously, you cannot continue rendering,
130 < *  but otherwise your process should not be compromised.
