Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for deterministically simulating light transport. In use, all pairs of non-negative integers are enumerated (e.g. in a predetermined order). Additionally, for each of the enumerated pairs of non-negative integers, an associated pair of a query point and a photon is identified by: identifying a query point associated with a first non-negative integer of the pair of non-negative integers using a deterministic point sequence of query points and identifying a photon associated with a second non-negative integer of the pair of non-negative integers using a deterministic point sequence of photons. Further, for each of the query points in the deterministic point sequence of query points, photons in the deterministic point sequence of photons associated with the query point are identified.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for decomposing a sampling task into a plurality of jobs. In operation, a sampling task is identified. Additionally, the sampling task is decomposed into a plurality of jobs. Further, each of the plurality of jobs are processed in parallel. Still yet, each of the plurality of jobs are allowed to terminate independently of the other plurality of jobs.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for importance sampling of partitioned domains. In operation, a domain is partitioned into a plurality of sets. Additionally, a probability is assigned to each of the plurality of sets. Furthermore, samples are generated from the plurality of sets, the samples being generated according to the probability of a corresponding set.
