%X This paper discusses strategies for parallelising the
   radiosity method for image synthesis applicable to message
   passing architectures, in particular, transputer\-based
   machines. The basic radiosity method, and a number of its
   developments are reviewed, as are previous parallelisation
   schemes. A number of parallelisation strategies are then
   discussed, with emphasis being placed on techniques for
   maximising the efficiency of the schemes by reducing
   communications overheads, scene structuring and scene
   partitioning. Results from the implementation of the various
   parallelisation approaches on a transputer\-based Meiko
   Computing Surface are presented. The implications of the
   parallelisation strategies in terms of solution quality are
   also considered.
