Parallel radiosity: Evaluation of parallel form factor calculations and a static load balancing algorithm
[chapter]
1999
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Although the radiosity algorithm can generate photo-realistic images due to global illumination effects, a large amount of form factor calculations are required. This paper describes how to parallelize the radiosity algorithm by subdividing hemispheres into multiple elements and allocating them statically to multiple processors. An enhanced communication procedure is proposed, where partial hemisphere data at each processor is communicated and the complete hemisphere data prepared on all
