Patent ID: 8266623

Claim:
A method, comprising: identifying a sampling task, the sampling task including a task associated with processing a group of rays or vectors, where the sampling task is associated with at least one of a (t, s)-sequence, and a lattice sequence; decomposing the sampling task into a plurality of jobs, where the decomposing includes decomposing the sampling task into a number of samples, the samples taken from at least one of the (t, s)-sequence, and the lattice sequence; processing each of the plurality of jobs in parallel; and allowing each of the plurality of jobs to terminate independently of other jobs of the plurality of jobs; wherein the number of samples is a multiple of N=b m , where N is a number of the plurality of jobs, b is a base of the at least one of the (t, s)-sequence and the lattice sequence, and m is a number of least significant digits utilized for processing the plurality of jobs; wherein decomposing the sampling task into the plurality of jobs includes partitioning one low-discrepancy point sequence into a plurality of low discrepancy sequences.
