/* According to the analytical validation, skipping sequential samples |
| 22 |
|
|
* when sharing a single RNG among multiple sampling domains introduces |
| 23 |
|
|
* overlapping photon rays (reported as 'duplicate keys' when building |
| 24 |
|
|
* the underlying data structure) and therefore bias. This is aggravated |
| 25 |
|
|
* when running parallel photon distribution subprocesses, where photon |
| 26 |
|
|
* rays from different subprocesses may correlate. |
| 27 |
|
|
* We therefore maintain a separate RNG state for each sampling domain |
| 28 |
|
|
* (e.g. photon emission, scattering, and russian roulette). With |
| 29 |
|
|
* multiprocessing, each subprocess has its own instance of the RNG |
| 30 |
|
|
* state, which is independently seeded for decorellation -- see |
| 31 |
|
|
* distribPhotons() and distribPhotonContrib(). |
| 32 |
|
|
* The pmapSeed() and pmapRandom() macros below can be adapted to |
| 33 |
|
|
* platform-specific RNGs if necessary. */ |
