Abstract
A highly parallel computer can be used to generate shaded surface molecular pictures with full hidden surface removal, and the paper discusses how this was done on the ICL Distributed Array Processor. The algorithm is characterized as a blocked depth-buffer. The picture is built out of precomputed primitives. Features of the algorithm may be generally applicable; on the DAP it gives a performance of 0.8 ms/atom.
