    摘要: A progressive photon mapping method based on statistical test includes launching rays from the viewpoint to each pixel on the image plane and intersecting the three-dimensional scene to be rendered. If an intersection with diffuse surface is found on the tracing path, it is recorded as the hit point; a photon pass is performed: 31) performing photon tracing step; 32) performing photon collection processing for each hit point; 33) if the current iteration of photon pass does not need chi-square test, then performing flux accumulation and keeping the collection radius unchanged; if chi-square is required, evaluating the photon distribution quality; computing a collection radius according to the estimated photon distribution, and performing the flux accumulation in the current photon pass; 34) if the photon collection radius is reduced, then performing distributed ray tracing, generating new hit points, and go to 31), otherwise go to 31), start a new iteration of photon pass.

    摘要: A method for parallel maintenance of data consistency includes: 1) a node broadcasts requests to other nodes in a network, request a synchronization data block of current synchronization cycle, and calculates a synchronization anchor of this synchronization cycle; 2) for node i requiring data feeding, writing the synchronization anchor of the current synchronization cycle in data block A0, and to produce an array [A]N based on the requirement; data block A0 is the provision that is be added into consistency data in the current synchronization cycle; 3) each node builds its own array [A]N in parallel and broadcasts the array; and 4) the node filters all received arrays of [A]N by the synchronization anchor of array, discards invalid data, and thereafter builds the synchronization data block for the next synchronization cycle.
