Abstract
The main goal of this paper is to propose an environment helping the user to parallelize a FIIT application. This object oriented environment is not only independent of the particular application con- sidered, but also of the target parallel machine. It offers a facility of pro- gramming: in fact, parallelism is managed by the environment, it is thus completely transparent for the user. We experiment this environment in the framework of parallel ray tracing and show the main advantages.
