SIMULTANEOUS SIMULATION OF MARKOV CHAINS USING QUASI-MONTE CARLO TECHNIQUES

摘要

Methods, systems, apparatus and computer software/computer code products operable to enable computer graphics systems to more efficiently simulate Markov chains (and thus trajectories of photons and the like) comprise simulating, and/or means for simulating, Markov chains using a quasi-Monte Carlo methodology, wherein the simulating of Markov chains comprises sorting states, and wherein the sorting comprises proximity sorting.
