Here's a shot of the IBM JS20 demo featuring POV at the CeBIT show .

This is what I was told about the demo:
 If an image is selected POVRay will render the image
 with 2 different hw configs (2 Blades against 40 Blades each with 2 PPC970
 1.6 GHz processors). The 2 windows will appear on the right side of the
 screen (covering the BladeCenter) showing the performance improvement. We
 are parallizing POVRay using PVM.

First of all someone should tell them how to write POV-Ray... :-)

Gilles' landscape demo looks way too bright, probably they messed with 
the gamma correction.  Nice to see they included the official benchmark 
as well, i wonder how long it takes on 40 blades...

My fault probably, this is due to the assumed_gamma 1 in the scene code.
I just told them to remove it if they want the pictures to be prettier.
