Virtual Radiometers for Parallel Architectures | 2012 | parallel architectures; virtual radiometers; a parallel ray tracing scheme; ray tracing algorithms; radiation; ray tracing; monte carlo; combustion; radiometer; parallel | Background: Parallelization of traditional ray tracing algorithms for radiation applications in participating media suffers from the large amount of inter-processor communication required to hand off rays between processors. As a result, strong scaling of these algorithms falls short of the required... |
