%X We present domain\-specific transformations of the
   ray\-tracing algorithm
targeting reconfigurable hardware
   devices. Ray tracing is a computationally intensive
   algorithm used to produce photorealistic images of
   three\-dimensional scenes.We show how the proposed
   transformations can adapt the basic ray\-tracing algorithm
   to a breadth\-first style, and give estimates for the
   hardware needed for realtime raytracing.
