“…This potential advantage of the method has been recognized by many researchers. Burns and Pryor (1989) showed the effects of vectorizing a Monte Carlo code for surface-surface interaction, and discuss the probable advantages of parallel computation. Taniguchi et al (1992b) presented results for a nongray medium in a simple geometry using a particular 64 processor computer, and showed that computational time was essentially inversely proportional to the number of processors used.…”

The use of the Monte Carlo method in radiative heat transfer is reviewed. The review covers surface-surface, enclosure, and participating media problems. Discussion is included of research on the fundamentals of the method and on applications to surface-surface interchange in enclosures, exchange between surfaces with roughness characteristics, determination of configuration factors, inverse design, transfer through packed beds and fiber layers, participating media, scattering, hybrid methods, spectrally dependent problems including media with line structure, effects of using parallel algorithms, practical applications, and extensions of the method. Conclusions are presented on needed future work and the place of Monte Carlo techniques in radiative heat transfer computations.

“…consists of wall reflectivity terms p along the diagonal in the upper left quadrant, and a volumetric scattering albedo co 0 as a diagonal expression in the lower left quadrant, and the absorptivity matrix is simply A = I -R. Similarly, an equivalent area matrix can be expressed as (5) where A is the diagonal matrix of surface areas, v is the diagonal matrix of zone volumes, and K t is the extinction coefficient of the gas. The heat flux and emissive powers of the zones are related by where (6) (7) (8) are vector terms representing the heat flux at the N s surfaces and the N, volumes, and…”

“…Coarse parallelism has been described for Monte Carlo radiative heat transfer on an eight-processor ETA-10. 5 Hanebutte and Lewis 6 used a CM-2 for simulating radiative transfer in a two-dimensional enclosure via the discrete ordinates method. Other node-based radiative transfer solution techniques could also be programmed for parallel computation.…”

“…We studied in other machine environments [4], that of radiative heat transfer in arbitrary 2-D enclosures. The application involves the tracing of photons emitted from the surfaces of an enclosure, reflected from zero or more intermediate surfaces, and then absorbed into or transmitted through, terminating surfaces.…”

This paper describes an application implemented on a simulated machine called Horizon. One purpose of this study is to investigate some of the features of a possible future machine (or class of machines) with a view toward deciding, early on in the research cycle, where problems may come up, what features should be added or strengthened, and what proposed features seem to be unnecessary. Another purpose is to learn more about how to program, instrument and debug a shared memory, massively parallel MIMD computer, and to begin to answer some of the questions: What tools does a programmer need to debug this type of machine? How can a programmer know if the machine is performing well? How can bottlenecks be identified? How can the massive amount of instrumentation information be condensed and presented to a user in a way that makes sense?
