public class Heat

extends Task

1 W Point Source Heating in Infinite Isotropic Scattering Medium Because of random number patterns the results of P distinct Workers executing N/P photons will in general be different from 1 Worker executing N photons (in fact, to ensure that each Worker does not return precisely the same result as all the others we seed the generator with the current system time). This isn't important for our experiments, though, because the quantity of work is the same in both cases, and we're much more concerned with the overall speedup than with precise results. Code that is less experimental in nature would clearly need to consider both.
