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." }
