This is a research project for my distributed system course. In this project, I am investigating different techniques used in distributed rendering systems.

Currently, the main benchmark for each approach would be the performance of each algorithm. Specifically, how much time it takes to render a frame. Eventually, I'd like to see how each approach renders animations which includes camera state changes and render object state changes.
