A Multiple shooting vectorial algorithm for progressive radiosity

Radiosity has been largely used in computer graphics for synthesis of realistic images. It is well known that this method has a high computational cost. This paper proposes an algorithm designed in order to take advantage of the use of vectorial computers. More precisely, we use a progressive radiosity approach where instead of shooting one patch at each iteration, we shoot a number of patches which is multiple or submultiple of the dimension of the vectorial processor each time
